In amazing Tokyo -- bigger, busier and more crowded than ever -- get acquainted with the capital of Japan and its fascinating landmarks.
Visit the famous and beautiful Meiji Jingu Shrine -- a tribute to the Emperor Meiji (late 1800s) who ushered in the Meiji Restoration. This change in government ended the Tokugawa Shogunate and opened Japan to the outside. Enter the shrine through twin 40-foot-tall Torii gates that are among the largest in Japan.
Passing through the organized chaos of the Shibuya Crossing intersection, you'll head to the Zojoji Temple. Originally built in AD 1393, it was moved to its present location in 1598 by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Six of the Tokugawa Shoguns are buried on the site. Take photos of the temple with the Tokyo Tower in the background.
Enjoy a panoramic drive through the city before returning to the ship.
