DAY 9: For those attending the main trip only, we’ll say goodbye after breakfast, and for those remaining for the Tokyo extension, we’ll begin our exploration of this vibrant, modern city. We’ll start at the Meiji Shrine, which is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Not far from there is Omotesando, a broad, tree-lined avenue sometimes referred to as Tokyo’s Champs-Elysees. After lunch, enjoy exploring Tokyo on your own, or if you wish, a guide will be available to take you to the Edo-Tokyo Museum.
