day 1Hello Tokyo!
Your Japan adventure tour starts today! You’ll meet your group at 4pm, where you’ll get a briefing from your Adventure Leader. They’ll outline what the next two weeks hold for you, as well as providing you with key tips on adapting to the local culture and staying safe whilst on tour.
After that, it’s time to make your own dinner as we take you for your first unmissable activity – a sushi-making class! You’ll learn how to make staple dishes, and then sample your culinary creations for dinner.
It’s then time to get the best views of the skyline in the city, with a trip to the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, before you can opt to join your group at a local bar. Relax, and get to know your fellow Dragons – you might just meet your new best friends!
