Neon Tokyo
A day that condenses three faces of contemporary Tokyo: the calm of Shinjuku Gyoen garden, the sacred forest of Meiji Shrine and the teenage buzz of Takeshita dori, then the Shibuya crossing.
The points that matter.

Le programme
Neon Tokyo
The day starts at Shinjuku Gyoen, a former imperial garden combining a Japanese, a French and an English garden, before a daytime walk through Golden Gai and Kabukicho. The middle of the day moves to Meiji Shrine and its avenue of cypress torii, then Takeshita dori and Omotesando avenue. The end of the day plays out at the Shibuya crossing, with a view from Shibuya Hikarie, before some free time for shopping.
