We will go up to the 45th floor Tokyo Municipal Observation Deck to enjoy a panoramic view of the city.

Outrageous outfits, flashy accessories and lush hairstyles visually emphasize the main message: a sense of community and freedom of expression.
- Visit the Imperial Palace, which dates back to the time of Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa Shogun. This palace, expanding over the centuries, has become one of the largest palace complexes in the world.

- After that, we are waiting for the narrow streets in the Golden Guy quarter. It has been preserved intact since the 1960s. Some of the bars are so tiny that they can hold no more than 6-10 people, and most of the buildings are only two stories high.
- Tokyo's nightlife attracts with its bright atmosphere, where neon lights are reflected on the wet asphalt and people are immersed in the cycle of pleasure. One of the most famous areas for evening entertainment is Kabuki — cho, where we will take a three-stage tour of selected establishments.
- The first stage involves visiting the host club — a unique entertainment venue where women can spend millions of yen a month on men they like, which is common. Such entertainment can be called a truly Japanese phenomenon.

We do not give instructions, but provide individual support as:
1. You will not be allowed to go to many places without knowledge of Japanese.
2. Tourists are trying to cheat for money. This is a common story in night areas of Japan.
- Today, Mount Fuji is the most famous symbol of the country, a revered shrine and an endless source of inspiration. We will arrive at the foot of the mountain in a comfortable minivan on the Fuji-Subaru line. A section of this musical road has rumbling lanes that sing a song from Anime lyrics at regular intervals.
- Drive up to Lake Kawaguchiko, which offers a stunning view of its greatness — Mount Fuji. If you wish, we can take a private speedboat ride on the lake.
- Once, during the cooling of lava after an eruption, ice caves were formed. We will see blocks of ice, frozen stalagmites and stalactites. Aokigahara Suicide Forest is waiting nearby. Here, the utter, sepulchral silence around and the absence of wildlife cause a feeling of inexplicable fear.
- Then we will be greeted by a village of traditional crafts. Let's go to the very Chureito pagoda-a monument belonging to the Arakurayama Sengen temple complex. This is where the spectacular scenery of Mount Fuji opens up, becoming one of Japan's most famous cliches.
- If you wish, you can relax in the local hot springs, and then take a minivan back to Tokyo.
- Never say " Kekko "(fine) until you see Nikko. Nikko is a city in a national park, a world heritage of Japanese civilization and a tourist mecca that combines the harmony of nature and architectural splendor. Here we will meet the Toshogu Temple complex. And nearby, on the stable building, there are carvings of three famous monkeys: "I don't see evil, I don't hear evil, I don't speak evil."
- We will climb the mountains along the serpentine with 48 sharp turns. From there, you can enjoy a view of Lake Chujenji at an altitude of 1.200 meters above sea level.

- Nearby is the Ovakudani volcanic Valley with hydrothermal and sulfur springs. Here you will find a completely surreal landscape created by constant emissions of volcanic gases and steam. Eggs are cooked right in the hot springs. Cooking in hydrogen sulfide takes 60 minutes at 80 degrees of water. Every egg you eat extends your life by 7 years.
- The last stop will be Hakone Shrine, located along the shores of Lake Asinoko. This is one of the oldest temples in the country, and it is dedicated to the Nine-headed Dragon, whose spirit lives in the lake. The Torii gate is part of this place.
- If desired, we can take a dip in the mineral spring, then return to Tokyo by minivan.
- Contrasts are waiting for us on this tour: the spirit of ancient and new Japan. The coastal temple city of Kamakura was the ancient capital. To date, it has preserved 19 Shinto shrines and 65 Buddhist temples. First of all, we will go to the eleven-meter statue of Buddha. It is the second largest sitting Buddha in Japan. Nearby is the Khasedera Temple, famous for the wooden statue of the goddess of mercy Kannon and the sculpture of Amid Buddha, the guide to the sacred Pure Lands.
- Take a walk to the temple of the god of war Tsuruoga Hachimangu, founded by the first shogun of Kamakura — Minamoto. And we will see the sanctuary of Zeniarai Benten, where after washing the money, the gods will increase this amount and bring good luck in business. Let's take a look at the ancient Hokokuji Temple, founded by the Zen school of Buddhism. It is often referred to as the "Bamboo Temple", as it is famous for its bamboo grove covering approximately 13,000 square meters.
- The next destination will be the dynamic 22nd-century city of Yokohama. It is the center of state-of-the-art technology, and Japanese traditions are combined with Chinese and Western ones. We will visit the seaside territory of Minato Mirai (Port of the future) with numerous attractions, shopping centers, hotels and museums. And above the city will meet the top of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the country-Landmark Tower. Its height is almost 300 meters, the tower is a symbol of the city.
- Day 0: Take the Shinkansen high-speed train from Tokyo to Kanazawa on your own in the evening or morning. The guide will always be in touch and will tell you how to purchase a ticket and get to the hotel. Meet your guide on the morning of the first day at Kanazawa Station if you arrive in the morning, or at your hotel if you spend the night in the city.
- Day 1: Let's dedicate a day to this place and start with the Omite fish Market. In addition to fresh fish, there is an abundance of local kaga cucumbers and lotus root in the summer, and oysters and squid are sold at the fish stalls. Take a look at Kanazawa Castle. The green area around the castle is called the "Green Heart", where some of the trees are more than 300 years old. Take a walk through one of Japan's best Kenroku-en gardens and the Meryuji Ninja Temple. Inside the temple, a spy maze with caches and traps is hidden, and the Nakamachi samurai quarter is located nearby.
- Day 2: Arrive in the mountain village of Shirakawa, where we will get acquainted with the life of the Japanese and visit local houses with thatched roofs. From the outside, this structure resembles hands clasped in prayer, and the style is unique and specific to Japan.
- Next, we will stop in the city of Takayama. The Hidea Village ethnographic museum is located here, recreated based on the traditional Japanese hinterland. Take a walk through the samurai quarters and the Higashiyama historical route — the heart of history.
- Day 3: The next stop will be Matsumoto City, where you will find karst caves and one of the oldest castles — Matsumoto Castle. The peculiarity is that it is untouched by civil strife, fires, and reforms and has been preserved in its original form. We will take a walk to the largest Wasabi farm and the print museum, and in the evening we will return by car to Tokyo or by high-speed train (this will be more comfortable and faster).
* I especially recommend taking a guided tour in winter

Concrete buildings will give way to green hills, forests and traditional Japanese villages. The journey in one direction will take 3-3. 5 hours on the express road.
- First stop in Jigokudani Valley, famous for its hot springs and, of course, the macaques that live here. The thick steam from the springs creates an atmosphere of mystery, and the monkeys, not paying attention to tourists, enjoy the warmth. We'll watch them play with each other and relax as if in their own private spa.
