day 1Arrival in Tokyo

Welcome to Japan! After landing in Tokyo, our English-speaking assistant will meet you and guide you to a shared car for transfer to your hotel. Please note that shared cars operate until 20:30. If your arrival is later, you will need to take the metro or a taxi on your own. Taxis are considerably more expensive – around USD 210–250 from Narita Airport and USD 90–110 from Haneda Airport, about ten times the cost of the metro. When deciding, consider factors such as luggage and the number of travellers. Alternatively, you can arrange a private pickup with us.
