About this activity

Our Half-Day Tokyo Sightseeing Bus Tour is perfect for first-time visitors to Tokyo! If you're staying at one of our 28 designated hotels, we’ll conveniently pick you up right from your hotel. Our first stop is the Meiji Shrine, Tokyo’s most iconic Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji, a key figure in Japan’s modern history. Next, we’ll drive past the world-famous Shibuya Crossing, the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world. And we’ll head to Tokyo Tower, built in 1958. You’ll ascend to its Main Observation Deck, where panoramic views of Tokyo await. Afterward, the bus will circle around the Imperial Palace, the residence of Japan’s Emperor and Imperial Family. The tour concludes in Ginza, Tokyo’s most sophisticated and upscale shopping district. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing stroll along elegant streets and savor a Japanese-style lunch (optional, at your own expense). The tour ends in Ginza at approximately 1:00 pm.

Please note: drop-off service is not included.
