    After 20 minute unique ride on rickshaw around the area, you would feel as if you'd stepped back in time in Samurai period, when you are having experience of tea ceremony. The tea master welcomes you as an important guest to Japan.
    Then we proceed to Tea Ceremony. Japanese tea ceremony, called Sado or Cha-no-yu, has more than 400 years of history, the most elevated way to fully enjoy a bowl of tea. Spiritually and physically, we would like you to feel the air as well. It will be unforgettable experience.

It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, there is always a crowd. It's actually pretty daunting to see such a large amount of people walking towards you, but Japan has an efficient pedestrian crossing system. Then we visit to the fashion boutique building "109" boasts its famous appearance right in front of Shibuya JR station, where young Japanese learn how to dress in latest fashion. Today you will get some advice from cute shop clerks trying on some new clothes in the entire morning.
    Have some real Ramen or Japanese noodle soup with a variety of ingredient like meet, seafood and fish for your lunch before visiting Meiji Shinto Shrine, where the first emperor after the end of feudalism is deified with his consort.

    - one day trip excursion to Kyoto   USD450 -

    Japan is a country with a lot of history, so you cannot miss the traditional side of the country. Therefore visiting the old capital for more than 1300 years is a must when you are in this country.
    You are scheduled to hop in a bullet train to make one day trip to Kyoto.
    There are thousands of buddhist and shinto temples there but we picked up some breath taking temples.

    The temple of pure water or Kiyomizu temple is one of the most popular among the thousands. The main pavilion boasts of the unique space which looks like Japanese opera stage where the sacred dance were offered to God. Pious follower of Budha used jump from that to prove their faith.



    Golden pavillion

    Golden pavilion or Kinkakuji temple stands gilded in gold, were set fire by a deranged monk in 1950.
    However it was restored after 5 years with donation of a lot of followers.
    The sight coupled with beautiful japanese garden and 600 year old bonsai tree blows your mind.
    Before leaving Kyoto, we can’t miss one place to visit…“Nijyou castle”. The shogun constructed this building when visiting Kyoto until 150 years ago. It’s also the place where the last shogun gave his political power back to the Emperor.

    On the way back to Tokyo, the tour offers you "Bento Dinner", a variety of food are neatly laid out in a box. In the bullet train to Tokyo, just relax, sit back and enjoy the Bento Dinner.
