Day 3: Sat, Dec 31 – TOKYO – NIKKO – TOKYO. Today we head north of Tokyo to Nikko. Nikko
is a town at the entrance to Nikko National Park, most famous for Toshogu Shrine, Japan’s
most lavishly decorated shrine and the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the
Tokugawa shogunate. On the way back to Tokyo, stop at a michi-no-eki, a road side rest stop
where locally produced food and crafts are sold at reasonable prices. (B, L)

Yokohama
•
Hakone
visit the Meiji Shrine and where you will get to experience hatsumode, the first visit to a
shrine (usually Shinto) of the Japanese New Year, in which wishes for the new year are made,
new omamori (charms or amulets) are bought, and the old ones are returned to the shrine so
they can be burned, first hand. The Meiji Shrine is dedicated to the deitified spirits of the
Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shoken. Before returning to the hotel in Tokyo, we will
spend some time in the visually stimulating Harajuku Shopping District. (B, L)
Day 6: Tue, Jan 03 – TOKYO – YOKOHAMA – TOKYO. Our first stop this morning is the
Chinatown in Yokohama. Developed after the port of Yokohama was opened to foreign trade
in 1859, it has become the largest Chinatown in Japan. Then visit the Red Brick Warehouse
buildings in Yokohama. Formerly the Customs Inspection House for the port of Yokohama
in the 1920s, the buildings have been converted into Yokohama’s most popular family or
date spot. Inside the buildings are unique shops and restaurants, and outside, throughout
the year, special events take place, like a skating rink in the winter. Finally view the beauty of
the Sankeien Gardens before returning to the hotel. Sankeien is a spacious Japanese style
garden, with its pond, small rivers, flowers and wonderful strolling trails that make you think
you are in Kyoto rather than in Yokohama. Among the historic buildings exhibited in the park
are an elegant daimyo (feudal lord) residence, several tea houses and the main hall and three
storied pagoda of Kyoto’s old Tomyoji Temple. (B)
Day 7: Wed, Jan 04 – TOKYO – HAKONE. We start the day with a stop at a COSTCO
Membership Store. Never know what you’ll find for the perfect “Omiyage”! Next, stop at
Arakuryama Sengen Park, one of the best places in Japan to view the amazing natural
beauty of the iconic Mt. Fuji. Then take a relaxing cruise on beautiful Lake Ashi before
transferring to the hotel in Hakone. This evening soak your body in the healing hot springs
of Hakone. Try traditional and artistic Japanese cuisine; Kaiseki – Traditional MultiCourse Dinner – expresses the beauty of the season using fresh seasonal ingredients
in fine Japanese ceramics. A “must-do” luxury! Life is good! HAKONE SENGOKUBARA
PRINCE HOTEL (1 Night) (B, L, D)
Day 4: Sun, Jan 01 – TOKYO. Full day at Leisure. Great day to explore the Shinjuku Area. (B)
Day 8: Thur, Jan 05 – HAKONE – HONOLULU. This morning, try your hand at “HakoneYosegi-Zaiku,” inlaid and mosaic woodwork unique to this area. Next take the 20
minute ropeway from Togendai to Owakudani. Owakudani Valley offers splendid
views of Mt. Fuji when the weather is good. Share your many memories with some old and
many new friends. Depart Tokyo at 9:00 pm via Korean Airlines flt #1. Arrive Honolulu same
day at 8:35 am. Aloha and Welcome Home! (B, L)
Day 5: Mon, Jan 02 – TOKYO. Start the day with a visit to Lalaport Toyosu, one of the
largest shopping malls in central Tokyo. Located by the waterfront, Lalaport has many shops
that carry both international brand names as well as local favorites. Today’s highlight will
be a hands-on Sushi-Making session, which will yield your delicious lunch. After lunch,
Book early and save!
