Overview

Explore Tokyo's gardens before a late flight on this half-day departure tour. Walk the Edo-era Hamarikyu Garden and the Meiji Shrine, stop at the Imperial Palace outer garden, and return to pier.

Highlights

• Stroll the Hamarikyu Garden, the last of Edo Tokyo's seaside gardens, around its tidal ponds and 300-year-old pine.

• Pass through the great Torii gates of the Meiji Shrine, the largest in Japan.

• Walk the Imperial Palace's outer garden, past its pine lawns and samurai statue.

Important Details

• This tour involves an extensive amount of walking, about 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometers) over uneven, cobblestone, and natural surfaces, with a few coach steps, 10 steps at the Imperial Palace outer garden, and 20 at the Hamarikyu Garden. It is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or who use a wheelchair.

• Wear lightweight clothing and flat, closed-toe walking shoes, and bring sun protection and local currency.

• The tour sequence may vary, guests may not remain on the coach during stops, and space is very limited, so early booking is recommended.

• Local tour guides tend to have a strong accent, so we urge flexibility.
