DAY 1
AM
Arrival
Tokyo has two main airports: Narita International (NRT), slightly longer than one hour by car or about 50
minutes to Tokyo station by special express train; and the more central Haneda (HND), about 30 minutes
from the city center by car.
Take your pick from a fabulous array of sushi, teppanyaki, tempura or multicourse kaiseki cuisine at the Hinokizaka restaurant at Ritz-Carlton in Roppongi. The
dramatic night views are sure to delight the entire family.
While anyone can book a seat at the main Sumo tournaments held at Kokugikan stadium in Ryogoku in January,
May and September, a more exhilarating and intimate experience is to observe a morning practice session at
a stable. Afterwards, join the wrestlers for their classic lunch of chanko hot pot.
PM
Visit Museums
Spend the afternoon at one of Tokyo's many extraordinary museums. The teamLab Planets TOKYO in Toyosu is
sure to be a big hit with the kids.
Dinner at the Ninja restaurant in Akasaka is never dull. From carpaccio served on a samurai sword, to
Ninja arts performed right at your table, this is a fun and tasty way for the whole family to spend a
night in Tokyo.
DAY 3
AM
Gym/Spa at the Hotel
Spend the morning working out at your hotel gym or getting pampered at its spa. If the weather is fine,
the whole family can enjoy a run around the imperial palace, for a head start on a full day of Tokyo fun.
PM
Cultural Experiences
Spend a leisurely afternoon learning how to make a furin wind bell, or dress up for
an outdoor stroll in a traditional kimono.
Choosing where to dine might be the hardest decision you will have to make in Tokyo, a city awarded more
Michelin stars than any other in the world. Whatever your choice, be ready for a dining experience you
will remember for a lifetime.
DAY 4
AM
Shop for Trinkets at Nakano Broadway
Visit the Mecca of Japanese otaku culture at the Nakano Broadway shopping arcade,
where you can browse through a stunning variety of figurines, manga comics and more.
Spend the afternoon at one of Tokyo’s many beautiful Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines. The Meiji Jingu
shrine, anchoring one end of Omotesando, is great place to explore, as is Zojoji, a famed temple near
Tokyo Tower that is the mausoleum of the Tokugawa family.
NIGHT
Take to the Tokyo Skies
Book a helicopter or private plane for a bird’s-eye view of the capital’s spectacular city lights.
