5 days in Tokyo Itinerary

Tokyo holds the status of most populous metropolitan area in the world--a fact you'll find tangible as you walk the bustling streets and explore its diverse neighborhoods and cultures.

Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Chigogafuchi Marine Plateau and Kugenuma Kaihin Park. Explore hidden gems such as Asakusa Shrine and Kencho-ji Temple. Change things up with these side-trips from Tokyo: Kamakura (Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine & Hokokuji Temple (Takedera Temple)), Fujisawa (Katase Higashihama Beach & Enoshima Sea Candle) and Southern Beach Chigasaki (in Chigasaki). And it doesn't end there: look for gifts at Ginza Itoya Hontren, contemplate the long history of Nezu Shrine, step off the mainland to explore Sarushima Island (Monkey Island), and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Sengaku-ji Temple.
