An affordable tour that takes you to alot of the 'must see' attractions. Start in Tokyo by glimpsing out over the giant metropolis from the Tokyo Tower Observatory, jumping down and getting into the action while taking a look at the Imperial Palace, Asakusa Kannon Temple, home to the famous giant lantern. From Tokyo, go west to the previous capital 'Kyoto', but not before enjoying views from half-way up Japan's tallest mountain and enjoying a tranquil lake cruise on the way. From Kyoto, visit Nara, home of the largest bronze statue 'Great Buddha' at Todaiji Temple as well as Nijo Castle and Golden Pavilion all of which are World Heritages. Finish up with a free day in Kyoto to spend at your own leisure.
