Fukagawa Edo Museum
A museum containing faithful reconstructions of the daily lives of common people in the Edo period (1603–1867). Scenes of ordinary citizens going about their daily lives and business are combined with lighting and sound to produce the sensation of going back in time to the town of Edo 150 years ago.
Tsukiji (drive through)
Hamarikyu Garden
A foremost example of a daimyo’s garden from the Edo period (1603–1867), this has been designated as a national place of special scenic beauty and a national historic site. With its pond containing seawater supplied from Tokyo Bay, the largest Japanese black pine in the city, the seasonal flowers and other features, it is truly a world apart within the large urban area of Tokyo.
Symphony Lunch Cruise
Cruise around the sights of Tokyo Bay, such as Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba, in a luxury cruise ship. Enjoy lunch, then relax at your leisure on deck with a cool breeze blowing in from the sea.

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.
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.
