A Week in Tokyo

Get to know Tokyo

A journey to make your own

This Tokyo city break is for travellers who want to focus on Japan’s capital, taking time to explore its many sides. Over seven days, move between the celebrated districts of Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa and Ginza and quieter places: Yanaka’s lanes, independent bookshops, cafés, markets and local favourites. Discover temples and gardens, neon and giant screens, small neighbourhood restaurants, shotengai covered shopping streets and peaceful parks. A stay designed to capture Tokyo’s richness and contrasts.

Add experiences to suit your interests: an immersive teamLab museum, a food tour for a closer understanding of Tokyo’s cooking, additional time with a guide, rooftop views by night or a cruise on the Sumida River. You can also explore Odaiba and Tokyo Bay, or spend a day outside the capital in Nikko or Kamakura, while keeping the overall pace relaxed.

We felt in safe hands from the start

The Caramage team, and Anne in particular, were wonderfully responsive. Their professionalism, warmth and willingness to listen put us at ease straight away. Everything felt effortless. We are from Canada and have recommended Caramage to two friends, who also loved their trips. We would recommend this agency without hesitation.
