Some Excursions we recommend in Tokyo
The height of the Tokyo Sky Tree is 634m. It is currently the tallest self-supporting tower in the world. It is also the second highest in the world next to the 828m of “Burj Khalifa” in Dubai among all the buildings. Tokyo Sky Tree has two lookouts, the “TEMBO DECK” at 350m and the “TEMBO GALLERIA” at 450m.
Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo, built in the 7th century. Senso-ji Temple has been burnt down many times in its long history of about 1400 years, and every time it was rebuilt, it continued to grow even longer.
“Kabuki” is a traditional Japanese performing art. It consists of drama, dance and music. Kabuki was designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009.

Days 3: Kagoshima, Kyushu Island, Japan

Enjoy a privileged view of the iconic volcano’s loom from the terraced garden of Senganen Garden. Built in 1658, this elegant, traditional garden has belonged to the Shimadzu family for 350 years. Wander the gardens – which bloom with Japan’s renowned cherry tree blossoms and feature tiny bridges looping over ponds and rock pools. lsewhere, museums offer Feudal Era and Satsuma Province history, as well as insights into the Kamikaze squadrons of World War II.

Day 5-6 : Incheon (Seoul), South Korea
The bright lights of neighbouring big city Seoul might burn brightly but Incheon, just 27 kilometres away, has nothing to be ashamed of. The coastal city was the first to open its borders to the world in 1883, and as such has always enjoyed a special relationship with the west. So much so that it was granted “English Status” in 2007, with many residents priding themselves on their command of the language. A frenetic and exciting hybrid of Chinese and Korean heritage, it is said that Jjajangmyeon (black soy bean noodles), South Korea’s de facto national dish originates from here. Try a steaming bowl from one of the many vendors, then walk it off with the short 15-minute stroll from Chinatown to the traditional Sinpo Market for different kind of sensational feast. The city is steeped in history, notably in recent times during the Korean War.
