More Visions of Tokyo!

Here's more about our day in Tokyo on Kawai America's Golden Anniversary Japan Holiday!  After we leave the historic Asakusa Kannon Temple area, you'll be able to choose between two great Tokyo destinations -- Akihabara Street or the Ginza District.

Akihabara Street (also known as Electric Avenue) is one of the world's great retailing meccas for consumer electronics goods. Think of it as a huge outdoor mall filled with Best Buy stores on steroids. If an electronic gizmo exists anywhere on earth, you'll probably find it on Akihabara Street!  Let's say an American electronics store has three variations of an item; a typical store on Electric Avenue will likely have six or even ten!  The Japanese really LOVE their electronics.  Although voltage differences may keep you from emptying your wallet at Akihabara, you'll still be able to see and try some of the latest technologies while they are still months (sometimes even years) from hitting our shores!

 If electronics aren't your thing, you can visit the Ginza District -- Japan's "Rodeo Drive." Ginza contains the country's most expensive real estate -- one square meter of land is worth over ten million yen!  As you walk through Ginza, you'll see flagship stores for all the paragons of high fashion such as Chanel, Dior, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, plus all of Japan's most venerated retailers including Matsuya, Mitsukoshi and the iconic Wako luxury store.  Add specialty boutiques and exclusive art galleries to the mix, and you have all the ingredients for an exquisite afternoon of strolling, perusing and drinking in the distinctive ambiance of Tokyo chic.

After this jam-packed day in Tokyo, we'll return to the hotel to get ready for our next excursion to one of Japan's most popular and beautiful destinations --

Hakone Hot Springs near scenic Mt. Fuji.

First Stop: TOKYO

On Day One, we arrive in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan.  Like all the world's great cities, Tokyo has a unique energy that fills a first-time visitor with awe and excitement.  It is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, but is also one of the safest big cities for travelers.

One unique attribute of this Golden Anniversary Tour is a brief visit to Kawai's stunning Omotesando Showroom in central Tokyo.  Dealers and salespeople who have visited this beautiful, modern space often comment that the visit made them proud to represent the Kawai brand.  The Omotesando Showroom is indeed an impressive retail facility by any standard.

 

After Omotesando, we'll take off by coach on a whirlwind tour of some of Tokyo's most revered sites, including the Asakusa Kannon Temple and the 300 meter long Nakamise Arcade (marketplace) that serves as a bustling gateway to the temple area.  You'll get a great sense of "old and new" on this busy first day in Tokyo, Japan.
