There may be days in March when you need a heavy jacket,
but the cold eases considerably in April and by May it can bewarm enough for short sleeves during the day. Peak cherry

days when the temperature rises above 35°C.

Asakusa Line
/ Keikyu Line

4. Things to Do & See■ City Tour: Asakusa
This location is home to one of the most popular tourist spots
in Tokyo, Tokyo Skytree Town®, which has the world’s tallest
free-standing broadcast tower. The area around the tower iscomplete with shopping and entertainment facilities. In
contrast to the cutting-edge tourist attractions, atmospheric
Sumida and Oshiage are crowded with people enjoying thesights of shitamachi areas, the traditional commercial andworking class neighborhoods of Tokyo. Just across theSumida-gawa river is the district of Asakusa, where you willfind the Kaminari-mon gate with its huge red lantern, and theSenso-ji Temple, both landmarks from the old days. Have apleasurable experience shopping at the shopping streets
including Nakamise, visiting sightseeing spots in a rickshaw, or
enjoying the cherry blossoms during spring and fireworks inthe summer.

■ City Tour: River Cruise■ Suica and PASMO cards■ TaxisSmart cards Suica and PASMO can be used on almost all railand bus lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and are also
accepted by a growing number of taxis. Suica IC cards areavailable for purchase at JR stations. Welcome Suica cards
which require no deposit and expire in 28 days are alsoavailable. PASMO cards are available at subway, private railway
stations or bus depots. You can also use these cards for
shopping as electronic money at an increasing number ofregistered shops.

In addition to queuing for a taxi at a taxi stand, you can also flag
down an unoccupied taxi on the street by raising your hand. The
taxi's rear left-side door will open for you automatically, so there
is no need to open it for yourself. Fares are paid at theconclusion of the ride, but some taxis cannot accept smart cards

3. Shopping & Eating■ Shopping
There are countless opportunities for you to shop for beautiful
and innovative products including exquisite green teas,
traditional sweets, attractive lacquerware, textiles, fashion andstate-of-the-art electronic products Japan is famous for.

■ Eating
Washoku, or authentic Japanese cuisine, including globally
popular sushi and tempura, has been designated by UNESCO
as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. There are plenty ofrestaurants in Tokyo and the most Michelin stars in the world.
The exquisite quality and variety of dishes, from washoku toworld cuisine, make for an unforgettable experience. You caneven try an Izakaya (local pub) for Japanese beer and yakitori(grilled chicken on a skewer) just as the locals do.

■ Taxi fares
In Tokyo's 23 wards, Musashino city and Mitaka city, taxi fares
have been raised to reflect improvements in working
conditions and an increase in fuel costs. The starting fare is
now 500 yen for the first 1.052km, beyond which 100 yen ischarged for each additional 255 meters.

Tokyo offers a diversity of cruise types, from regular services
convenient for sightseeing and traveling, to one-off services
paired with seasonal events, and even yakatabune services
featuring meals and shows. Select the ideal cruise to enjoy
according to purpose or situation.

■ Cultural Program: Dress in Kimono/Yukata
Kimono, the beautiful national costume of Japan also calledwafuku, literally meaning “Japanese-style clothing,” has won
popularity beyond its birthplace. The garment is made withvarious materials, such as cotton and silk, and in different styles
for different purposes, from formal to casual. Few people dressin kimono on a daily basis today, but the gown remains
essential to traditional Japanese culture and is worn on special
occasions like weddings and New Year celebrations. Yukata isa variant of the kimono made with a lighter fabric. The stylish
gown comes in diverse colors, patterns, and materials. And
compared to the kimono, it’s easier to put on.
Both kimono and yukata give the wearer a taste of Japan.
Although it’s possible to dress yourself, professional services areavailable, too. It’s worth creating the opportunity to have aphotograph taken or stroll the streets of Tokyo wearing akimono or yukata.

■ A Different Flavor of Cultural Program: Sake Tasting
Tokyo also has an exceptional variety of local Japanese rice wine brands, better known as “sake.” For a real taste of Tokyo enjoy a sakebrewery tour with sake tasting in Ome or Higashimurayama, in the western part of Tokyo. The sake brewery Ozawa Shuzo in Ome offers
spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys from its beautiful location. Sawanoi, one of their signature brands, is popularfor its clean, crisp flavor and refined aroma. Toshimaya Shuzo is another well-known sake brewery in Higashimurayama, established in 1596.
Their signature sake Kinkon, which has won numerous awards, is dedicated to Meiji Jingu and Kanda Myojin Shrines as their sacred sake.
