Average time to visit
Tokyo kicks off its year with cold winter days and the odd snowfall. Although temperatures occasionally drop below freezing, winter (December to February) is usually reasonable. Spring (March to May) brings pleasant, warm days, and, of course, cherry blossoms – early April is probably the best time to view the blooms. Summer (June to August) is hot and muggy. Late June can see torrential rains. The temperature and humidity are at their worst in August. Apart from spring, autumn (September to November) is the most pleasant season as temperatures cool down to a cosy level and days are often clear and fine. Autumn also means the return of the dramatic foliage season, when the parks and green areas of the city mellow into varying hues of orange and red.

Days 1-3: Tokyo
Experience the vibrant sights of Tokyo, starting from the iconic Tsukiji fish market where fresh seafood can be found. For those who are keen to wake up early to observe tuna auction and dining at Toyosu Fish Market, this can be arranged as an optional add-on.
Afterwards, we continue to the Sumo Stable where you can learn about the life of a sumo wrestler before proceeding into the vibrant Eastern Tokyo. Explore the Asakusa street lined with Japanese snacks and goods on both sides leading up into the bright red Sensoji Temple. Exiting via Nakamise Street, you will continue into the Akihabara Electric Town and not to miss the postcard-perfect Imperial Palace.
You will be based in the distinctively beautiful Palace Hotel Tokyo, which comes with view of the Imperial Palace and its gardens.

Days 3-5: Shizuoka

On your second day, we will head into the Izu Peninsula where you will hike along the jagged coastline of Jogasaki Coast and explore the extinct volcano of Mount Omuro with its massive crater.
If you happen to visit between early February to early March, we will replace the Izu Peninsula visit to Kawazu. Kawazu is famous as one of the earliest cherry blossom spots in Japan, with over 800 Kawazu Sakura trees lining up along the Kawazu River. After celebrating the Kawazu Sakura Festival, we contitue to Kawazu Nanadaru Waterfall. The pure water flows from the Amagi mountain range through these seven waterfalls ranging from 2-meters to 30-meters in height, into the Kawazu river.
