Highlights
Leave Tokyo for a day and head north to Nagano Prefecture! The departure from the Shinjuku area (LOVE OBJECT) is scheduled for 08:00. Please ensure you are gathered within 07:45. Please note that the bus journey to Jigoku Valley takes up to three and a half hours, with two to three stops at service areas en route. Upon arrival, enjoy a delicious Japanese-style set meal of beef sukiyaki for lunch! Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to see the famous monkeys of Jigoku Valley! They are accustomed to human presence, so you will be able to take some incredible photos. However, remember that touching, staring directly at them or feeding them is prohibited in order to ensure their safety and well-being. If you travel between late January and late February , your tour will also include a visit to the magical Kamakura snow huts.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
