Bespoke Tokyo: Private Day Journey Curated Around Your Tastes

LanguageEnglish

Overview

Tokyo is not one city but many, ancient and futuristic, hushed and electric, often within the same block. This private day is built entirely around you, your chauffeur and guide weaving a path through the city's many faces at whatever pace feels right.


Begin where Tokyo began, at Senso-ji in Asakusa, the city's oldest temple, its great lantern and bustling market street alive with the spirit of old Edo. Rise above it all at the Skytree, where the metropolis unfurls to the horizon. Step into the deep forest stillness of Meiji Shrine, then emerge into the youthful energy of Harajuku and the refined avenues of Omotesando.


Feel the pulse of the world-famous Shibuya crossing, and look down upon it from the rooftop heights of Shibuya Sky. Close among the elegant facades of Ginza, where venerable institutions and global luxury stand side by side. Every stop can be swapped, lengthened, or reimagined; this is your Tokyo, revealed by someone who knows it intimately.

What to expect

  1. Senso-ji Temple

    Visit Tokyo's oldest temple, a landmark steeped in centuries of history. Pass through the iconic Kaminarimon Gate, stroll along the lively Nakamise-dori shopping street lined with traditional crafts and snacks, and soak in the atmosphere of Tokyo's oldest temple town. Street food tasting is highly recommended.

  2. Tokyo Skytree

    Ascend to the observation deck of this 634-meter broadcasting tower — the tallest structure in Japan. Take in a sweeping panoramic view of the Kanto Plain, and on clear days, enjoy a distant glimpse of Mount Fuji on the horizon.

  3. Meiji Jingu Shrine

    Step into a vast, tranquil forest in the heart of Tokyo. Pass through the towering torii gate and walk along the serene forested approach to this majestic Shinto shrine, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. A welcome contrast to the city's energy.

  4. Lunch & Harajuku / Omotesando

    Enjoy lunch in one of Tokyo's most trend-setting neighborhoods. Explore the vibrant pop culture scene of Takeshita-dori, then contrast it with the refined, tree-lined boulevard of Omotesando — Tokyo's answer to the Champs-Élysées — with its flagship stores and stylish cafés.

  5. Shibuya Scramble Crossing

    Experience one of the world's most famous intersections up close, where thousands of pedestrians cross simultaneously from every direction. Then head up to the rooftop observation deck "Shibuya Sky" for a stunning bird's-eye view of the Tokyo skyline.

  6. Ginza

    Wrap up your day in Tokyo's most prestigious shopping district. Browse long-established Japanese stores alongside international luxury brands, and treat yourself to refined Japanese sweets or a relaxing café break along elegant Chuo-dori Avenue.
