DAY 1
PM
around 1hour
Meiji Jingu Shrine Visit With Shinto Prayer
Start your cultural journey with a visit to one of Tokyo’s most sacred spaces, Meiji Jingu Shrine. In a
tranquil green space in the heart of the city, you’ll go deeper than mere sightseeing and participate in a
Shinto ritual to pray for safe travels, or whatever is closest to your heart.
Surrounding the imperial shrine, and separating the sacred from the profane, are the hallowed woodlands of
Meiji Jingu. Stroll the forest and its many hidden attractions with an expert guide, and you’ll soak up
culture and fascinating history as well as the tranquility of this mid-city retreat.
Dine at Tokyo Shiba Tofuya Ukai, another oasis of calm and culture, this time nestled at the foot of Tokyo
Tower. Savor a seasonal menu centered on refined tofu dishes in a private, elegantly traditional dining
room overlooking a secluded garden of koi carp ponds and water wheels.
In western Tokyo, discover the flip side of the glittering city, the verdant nature of the Tama Area. In
the Okutama Hills you can find traditional wasabi terraces maintained by passionate farmers, and taste the
freshness of Japanese village life as well as the incredible local produce.
PM
around 1hour
Wagyu Lunch in a Mountainside Village
Even in its hills and valleys, Tokyo is a paradise of elegant eateries such as Kurochaya. This beautiful,
300 year-old rustic house serves up tender Akigawa-gyu, wagyu from black-haired cattle raised right in
Tokyo. Enjoy the seasonal flavors of Tokyo’s rivers and mountains to the soothing sounds of the Akigawa
River.
Explore the Akigawa Valley on foot and lose yourself in a gorgeous environment you’ll barely believe can
still be found in Tokyo. This forested river valley is beautiful year round, with features like the
30-meter Otaki Falls, ancient temples tucked away in the forest, and sweeping views from Ishibunebashi
Bridge.
NIGHT
around 2hours
Dinner in a Traditional Thatched House
Finish your day with a classic taste of rural Japan: traditional dining in a gassho-zukuri house, hidden away in the mountains of the Tama Area. This famous
architectural style, featuring wooden beams and a steep thatched roof, adds a sense of timelessness to an
experience you won’t find anywhere else.
The sub-tropical Izu Islands of Tokyo Prefecture are closer than you might think. Charter a helicopter
from Tokyo Heliport, and be whisked away to the secluded greenery of Izu Oshima in next to no time.
PM
around 5hours
Dive and Trek Around Izu Oshima
Arrive on Izu Oshima in just 30 minutes, and revel in the verdant environment and inviting waters of the
geopark. With its volcanic heritage and location in the warm Kuroshio Current, black lava flows, and rich
greenery above a deep blue sea, the island offers irresistible exploration on land and sea alike.
NIGHT
around 1hour
Starry Skies of Tokyo’s Isles
Discover a whole different kind of Tokyo nightlife as you spend a star-spangled evening under the
incredible night sky of Izu Oshima. Far from the city lights — perhaps even atop Mt. Mihara — stargazing
on the islands of Tokyo is a truly special experience.
NIGHT
around 1.5hours
Boutique Hotel Overlooking the Ocean
Dine and unwind at Mashio Hotel and Resort, where the bounty of Oshima’s land and sea are rendered into
creative Japanese cuisine. Perched on a mountainside, enveloped by rich greenery, each of the boutique
hotel’s three units overlooks the Pacific Ocean for stunning sunsets and mornings blessed by birdsong.
Slip beneath the waves for a snorkeling adventure with a professional instructor. Izu Oshima’s warm, clear
waters are the perfect setting to explore the wonderful undersea world and are home to a huge variety of
sea life in every color of the rainbow.
AM
around 1hour
Fly Back to Tokyo Heliport
Take to the skies once more, with a private helicopter transfer from Izu Oshima back to Tokyo Heliport in
the Shinkiba area.
PM
around 3hours
Light Lunch and Luxury Spa Treatment
Check in to your hotel back on the mainland, and take a spa break to enjoy the kind of five-star treatment
and omotenashi service you’ll only find in Tokyo. Refreshed and rejuvenated, enjoy a
delicious light lunch at your hotel before heading back out.
Dinner at Ryotei Kinsui promises the elegance of a kaiseki dinner coupled with the incredible Japanese
garden setting of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. Indulge in delightful Japanese cuisine in one of the private
dining rooms of the sukiya-style house, overlooking garden views and placid Unkinchi
Pond.
Looking down on a “sea of clouds” is an enthralling experience normally reserved for mountaineers, but in
the gardens of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, this miraculous sight is replicated on a
verdant canvas hidden within the city itself.
Before the long journey home, take a moment to yourself in one of Tokyo’s outstanding cafes. At The Café
by Aman, you can enjoy exquisite home-baked pastries and sweets, a premium tea, or a glass of champagne in
the Otemachi Forest — a woodland refuge in the heart of Tokyo’s central business district.
Having immersed yourself in the spirit of Japan so uniquely captured by Tokyo’s many facets, it’s time to
depart — but your indelible impressions of this amazing city will be with you forever.
