Konnichiwa! Welcome to Japan. You can arrive at the hotel at any time, as there are no activities planned for today. A welcome pack containing a welcome letter, your trip itinerary, relevant tickets, a feedback card and general information on the country will be waiting for you at your hotel. If you arrive early, a great place to begin your explorations of larger-than-life Tokyo is Ueno Park, which boasts many excellent galleries and museums.

Travel by train and public bus to Mt Fuji 5th Station (2,400 m). While there are often many other tourists there, Mt Fuji 5th Station is the best spot from which to take in the splendour of Mt Fuji, Japan's highest mountain (3,776 m). It's the best developed and the easiest to access by public transport. From this point forward, automobiles are not permitted. There are a few restaurants and souvenir shops here to explore, and of course plenty of time to take photos of the majestic view. You might see hikers stretching and preparing for their treks, especially during the official climbing season (July 1 to August 31). Before returning to Tokyo today, you'll make a visit to the Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine. It's surrounded by dense forest and is set off from the road by a long approach lined by stone lanterns and shaded by cedar ...

Firstly, enjoy some free time. You have until late afternoon to explore this unique city further before your Tokyo food adventure. While Tokyo is renowned for its frenetic energy and progressive architecture, it has a distinctly warmer, friendlier side which tends to reveal itself outside of working hours. Visiting the lively Senso-ji temple district of Asakusa is a must, as is the Sumida River, along which you can take a boat cruise down to the gorgeous Hama Rikyu gardens. Perhaps make your way to the shopping district of Ginza where, depending on the theatre schedule, you may have the chance to see a short performance of Kabuki, one of Japan’s more spectacular performing arts. Early risers might like to get amongst the action at the Tsukiji fish market. In the late afternoon, take public transport to JR Yurakucho Station...

Your adventure comes to an end today, with no more activities planned.
