Tokyo Nights (Group Tour Add-On)
3 Nights: from US$891 per person (twin share) Trip Code: AOTNC
If your Small Group Tour finishes in Kyoto, you needn't head straight home. Why not hop on the bullet train to Tokyo and spend a couple of days exploring one of the world's greatest metropoles. Read more >
Do you fancy staying a little longer in Japan after your Hidden Japan or Rural Japan Explorer Small Group Tour? Both of these tours finish in Kyoto, but it would be a shame to miss out on Tokyo.
We can make additional arrangements post-tour for you to explore Tokyo on a Self-Guided Add-on. After saying goodbye to your tour leader and group, we'll provide tickets and detailed instructions so you can catch the bullet train to Tokyo.
We recommend staying in Tokyo's historic Asakusa district as there's a wealth of sights on your hotel's doorstep. Visit the capital's oldest temple, Senso-ji and walk through Kaminarimon gate. Shop for ceramics and vintage kimono, or head to nearby Kappabashi - the best place to buy bespoke kitchen knives.
After settling into the capital, we've included a morning with a private guide to help you get to grips with the city's transport system and the different characters of each neighbourhood. You'll also take an elevator up the 634m Skytree - the phenomenal landmark of Tokyo's skyline which dwarfs everything in sight. If you're lucky, on a clear day you can see as far as Mount Fuji.
This add-on package is fully tailorable, so if you have more time to spare, or fancy exploring further afield from the capital, just let us know and we'll come up with the perfect plan for you.

Day 1-4
Get beneath the surface of Japan's fascinating capital city
Hop on the world famous bullet train from Kyoto and you'll be in Tokyo in just a couple of hours. For the next three nights you'll be staying right in the heart of Tokyo's Asakusa district. This is the oldest part of the capital and centres around Senso-ji Temple.
The beauty of Asakusa is that there's always lots going on, and it's all accessible for the non-Japanese speaker. Menus in English, souvenir stalls alongside vintage kimono shops, and a very helpful tourist centre. Yet wander down a backstreet and you'll see little old ladies going about their daily shopping, children walking to school and lines of locals outside the best ramen stalls proving that there is plenty of authentic people watching to be had here!
We've included half a day with a local private guide who can tailor a sightseeing itinerary exactly to suit you. Get lost in the Akihabara electronic district, take a walk through Meiji Shrine or explore one of Tokyo's little-known gardens – pockets of elegant tranquillity among the neon lights.
A trip to the top of the Toyko Skytree is a must to get a bird's eye view of the metropolis. We've included tickets for this so you can skip the queue. And then there's the food in Tokyo – with more Michelin stars than France, and fantastic soul food too from ramen to conveyor belt sushi to izakaya pubs beloved of salary men, this add-on will be a wonderful extension to your Japan adventure.
On your final morning we will arrange a shared shuttle bus to pick you up from your hotel and take you to Tokyo Narita or Haneda Airport in good time for your flight home.Overnight: Richmond Asakusa
