Seaside Top
This is the observatory on the 40th floor of the World Trade Center Building offering a panoramic view spanning 200 meters. From a height of 151 meters you can see the Tokyo cityscape and Shinkansen bullet trains as well as enjoy a sweeping view of Tokyo Bay with its numerous ships traversing, and on a clear day you can see Mount Fuji.
Sumida River Sightseeing Tour
A boat trip lasting around 40 minutes where you can delight in a mix of Tokyo’s continual redevelopment combined with the atmosphere of the good old days of Edo. Passing under 12 bridges, each with its own distinctive color and shape, enjoy at your leisure the ever-changing face of the Tokyo landscape.
Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Street
Nakamise Street is a shopping arcade running from Kaminarimon Gate to the Buddhist temple Senso-ji lined with around 90 shops. Its history goes back to the latter half of the 17th century, and its rows of shops selling uniquely Japanese souvenirs such as fans and kimonos as well as traditional foods such as rice crackers offer a truly grand spectacle.
Ginza (drive through)
Imperial Palace
This used to be a castle that housed generations of Tokugawa shoguns, the administrators of the Tokugawa government in Edo, but with the Meiji Restoration it became the residence and palace of the Imperial Family. Surrounded by a moat and an abundant variety of trees, it is like a world apart situated right in the middle of Tokyo.
