Tours in Tokyo - Japan World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Tokyo - Japan Travel Guide, Tourism http://goo.gl/tOBWCi Tokyo tours Boat tours Like all great cities, Tokyo has plenty to see from the river. Watch the bright lights of the Rainbow Bridge and the series of skyscrapers from the water with Vingt-et-Un Cruises or Symphony Cruises, who both offer daytime and evening boat cruises lasting between one and two hours. Bus tours To check off all the sites without having to think too hard, consider a bus tour of Tokyo. There's plenty to choose from: half-day, full-day and evening tours, with many even offering free hotel pick-up. Good companies include JTB Sunrise Tours and Japan Gray Line. Sightseeing, shopping, snapping -- done. Gastro tours Tokyo teems with interesting things to taste and try. For an in-depth introduction to the city's gourmet secrets, consider taking a gastro tour in English with Tokyo Fixer. Walking tours To take it nice and easy, explore Tokyo's lavish history and modern madness on foot. You can arrange a number of walking tours through the tourist information office, or simply pick up a map and go for the DIY option. Alternatively, catch up with historian Mr Oka for a more individual guide to the city. Excursions from Tokyo Kamakura A small coastal town surrounded by wooded hills, Kamakura was the seat of Japan's first military government, the Kamakura Shogunate of 1192-1333. Most famous for the imposing 12m-high (39ft) Great Buddha, who's nearly 800 years old, you'll also find Zen temples, the impressive Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu shrine and the nearby National Treasure Hall. It's not all indoor art, though. You can hike through the hills or sunbathe and windsurf on the beach in summer. Trains run every 10-15 minutes to Kamakura from Tokyo Station, Shinbashi Station and Shinagawa Station, on the Yokosuka line (journey time - approximately 1 hour). Kamakura City Tourist Information Service East exit of Kamakura Station, 1-1-1, Komachi, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture Nikko The wow factor at Nikko is the dazzlingly ornate mausoleum of the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the model for the fictional warlord of James Clavell's novel Shogun. This UNESCO site sits in an ancient cedar forest, along with the Rinnoji Temple, Futarasan Shrine and the somewhat less elaborate mausoleum of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu. Nearby lie Lake Chuzenji and the spectacular Kegon Waterfall, a great place for boating, swimming and fishing. If you're feeling more energetic, climb the 2,400m-high (7,874ft) Mt Nantai. Trains leave several times an hour from Tokyo's Tobu Asakusa Station on the Tobu Nikko line.
