Next, we head to Asakusa Kannon Temple (aka Senso-ji) in Asakusa. This is Tokyo's oldest temple, where you can wander through the traditional Nakamise shopping arcade, savor local treats, and participate in a casual tea ceremony experience. After a short lecture, make delicious high-grade "ichibancha" green tea with your own hands, and enjoy it with traditional "wagashi" Japanese sweets. After enjoying the tea ceremony, we move on to Odaiba, a popular shopping and entertainment district situated on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. Here, you'll have time to explore the area and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a nearby hotel (Hilton Tokyo Odaiba). Then, embark on a scenic cruise on Tokyo Bay, passing under the iconic Rainbow Bridge. Please enjoy the dynamic scenery of Tokyo seen from the sea!
