millybess Posted January 6 #1 Share Posted January 6 We will be in Tokyo in April. We have a private guide for the 3 days we are there. We need to come up with an itinerary for him. Any suggestions on what's not to be missed in Tokyo? Thank you!🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavementends Posted January 6 #2 Share Posted January 6 Seems to me that you hire a private guide because of local expertise, which includes suggesting an itinerary after ascertaining your interests. In my opinion Kyoto is not to be missed, but it's not in Tokyo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’ll want to squeeze that in during 3 days and nights in Tokyo. Why stay on the ship when you can experience local color? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made into a US movie starting Richard Gere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM0115 Posted January 10 #8 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Can you add a day trip to Matsumoto or Mt Fuji? Edited January 10 by JM0115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matsumoto is about a 3 hour trip by car and around a 5 hour trip by train from Tokyo. I suppose it’s doable as an overnight. Looks beautiful! We will go to Mt. Fuji when the ship stops at Shimizu.
