The programme

Let's start with the Imperial Palace, once home of the Shogun and later to the emperors. History, power and a couple of photos in front of Nijubashi Bridge, because let's face it: a touch of the regal on your social media profile is never a bad thing!

Then, we're heading to Asakusa, passing under Kaminarimon, the “Thunder Gate” with the most photographed lantern in Japan. Once you walk through it, you'll come to Senso-ji, the most ancient temple in Tokyo, as well as a street full of small stores where you simply must go shopping!

And to finish with a flourish? The Tokyo Tower, the red-and-white tower that dominates the city and defies the sky. Eiffel Tower, step aside: we're flying high!

Oh, and naturally a typical Japanese lunch is included, because Tokyo is best explored on a full stomach!
