Itinerary
Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Tokyo.
On arrival into Japan, you will have the services of an airport representative whose main job is to help validate your rail pass before taking you over to the airport shuttle transfer. You will be transferred from the airport directly to your hotel. Spend the remainder of the day exploring Tokyo at leisure and acclimatising as a family to Japan.
Use our free-time information for your first day of acclimatising to explore 'cool Tokyo', using Tokyo's excellent public transport. A PASMO pre-loaded travel card is included in the package. This is a great way to get your bearings around this sprawling capital and seeing the fun and cool side of this great city.

Take the final bullet train of your trip from Kyoto back to the capital for your final night here. After checking in, spend the remainder of the afternoon at leisure around the west of Tokyo. What better way to end this fantastic trip with a stretch of vocal chords and a wave of a tambourine at a karaoke box - how Japanese!
