Day 1: Arrival & first impressions

Touch down at Haneda or Narita Airport and step into the comfort of a private transfer that whisks you through the city to the serene sanctuary of the Aman Tokyo. After a quick refresh in your suite, meet your private guide in the lobby for a personalized tour of the Imperial Palace Gardens. The palace, home to Japan’s Emperor, is surrounded by stunning landscapes that offer a peaceful introduction to the city.

Next, venture into the hustle and bustle of Shibuya to witness the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing — an organized chaos that epitomizes modern Tokyo. Head up to Shibuya Sky for panoramic city views before continuing to Shinjuku, where neon lights and vibrant streetscapes create a true sensory overload.

Return to the Aman for sunset cocktails, then dress for an evening in Ginza, Tokyo’s luxury shopping district. Browse the area’s famed vintage boutiques, where rare finds await, before ending your night with an indulgent dinner at Mon Cher Ton Ton in The Peninsula, renowned for its teppanyaki artistry.

Day 2: Culinary delights & cultural treasures

Your second day begins with an early morning visit to the Tsukiji Fish Market, where you’ll watch Tokyo come alive as fishmongers prepare the freshest catch of the day. Stop by Matcha Stand Maruni for a perfectly crafted cup of matcha before heading to Omotesando for breakfast at Bill’s, famous for its fluffy Japanese pancakes.

Spend the morning exploring Omotesando and Harajuku, two neighborhoods where high fashion, vintage gems, and quirky street style coexist. A stop at Amore Vintage is a must for rare luxury finds. From there, walk to the tranquil Meiji Shrine in Yoyogi Park, a serene escape from the city buzz.

For lunch, indulge in a culinary gem—Pizza Bar on 38th, where you’ll savor omakase-style pizzas that have earned cult status (this restaurant has a 15,000 person waiting list!) Return to the Aman in the afternoon to unwind at the world-class spa or take a dip in the hotel’s breathtaking infinity pool, offering sweeping views of the city skyline.

As evening falls, enjoy pre-dinner cocktails at The Edition before heading to Gonpachi Nishi Azabu, better known as the “Kill Bill restaurant,” for an atmospheric dinner filled with authentic Japanese flavors.

Day 3: Immersion & indulgence

Begin your final full day with a leisurely breakfast at the Aman before heading out for a private viewing of sumo wrestling practice, an experience that offers rare insight into one of Japan’s most revered traditions. Refuel with another expertly made matcha before making your way to TeamLab Planets, the immersive art installation that blurs the line between digital and physical worlds.

Later, embark on a private ramen tour, tasting your way through four carefully curated ramen shops—each offering a unique interpretation of this iconic Japanese dish. Back at the Aman, indulge in afternoon tea Sakura Style, a refined experience blending Japanese flavors with timeless elegance. For your grand finale, enjoy an omakase dinner at Kyubey in Ginza, where master sushi chefs deliver a meal that’s nothing short of extraordinary.

Need to know

Pro tips for Tokyo:

  • Best time to visit: Spring (March–April) brings the magic of cherry blossoms, while autumn (October–November) offers crisp weather and vibrant foliage.

  • Getting around: Private transfers offer convenience, but Tokyo’s metro is efficient and safe for those looking to explore independently.

  • Reservations: Secure dining spots like Kyubey, Mon Cher Ton Ton, and Gonpachi weeks in advance to guarantee availability.

  • Packing essentials: Opt for smart, comfortable outfits for daytime exploring and elegant evening attire for fine dining. Comfortable shoes are a must for walking-heavy days.

  • Insider access: Booking through me ensures exclusive upgrades, early check-ins, and priority reservations at sought-after spots around the city.
