Extend your stay in Tokyo by an extra two nights and discover the vibrant city of Tokyo, where modern marvels meet traditional charm. Tokyo is one of the world’s most exciting cities, and at 12 million people, it is also one of the most populous. It is a thriving centre of economy, industry and culture and although crowded, it is clean, orderly and safe.  No other city in the world is like Tokyo, with its astonishing diversity and exotic blend of old and new as a strong sense of history and tradition remain. You will also find some of the world’s finest restaurants alongside the lively subculture of Japan’s youth. Each major district of Tokyo offers its own world of unique surprises, from art galleries, museums and concert halls, to large department stores, theater and more. There is literally something for everyone in Tokyo. 

Breakfast at leisure in the hotel's new Crossroads Kitchen restaurant, followed by a morning conference session at the hotel. 

The afternoon is at leisure with an option to join a Tokyo City Tour in the afternoon (own cost). 

This evening, join us for a Welcome Reception at the hotel including substantial canapes and drinks.

Enjoy a full day at leisure for optional tours or time on your own to immerse yourself in all that Tokyo has to offer.  Our local guides are on hand to help you make the most of your limited time in Tokyo.

If you are looking for something beyond Tokyo's city limits, take a day trip from Tokyo to Nikko, a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture. Begin with a visit to the Toshogu Shrine, an opulent complex dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colours. Stroll through the serene cedar-lined paths and discover the famous "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" monkeys and the “Sleeping Cat”. Afterwards enjoy a stroll and lunch at leisure in central Nikko with plenty of street food and local crafts available for purchase.  

If you are interested in Japan's rich history and spiritual heritage, Nikko's appeal lies in its deep cultural significance, beautiful architecture and peaceful atmosphere making it a rewarding experience for those seeking a more contemplative experience.

Enjoy a relaxed morning prior to transferring to the ship in time for lunch on board the Crystal Symphony.
