Highlights of Tokyo 
In the morning, after breakfast, you meet your private guide and start your first full-day tour of Tokyo. During the tour, you use the convenient Tokyo public train transportation to travel around the city.

First, you see from the outside the incredible Imperial Palace to get a taste of Japanese culture and glance at the precious building. Notably, The Imperial Palace has served as the residential place of the successive Emperors since 1868. It contains the Imperial Residence and the Imperial Palace Complex, where His Majesty the Emperor undertakes official duties. Moreover, various ceremonies and public activities are held there too.
After relishing this marvelous Palace, you will walk through the Nihonbashi district which is a business district that grew up around the bridge of the same name, which has linked two sides of the Nihonbashi River at this site since the 17th century. After enjoying the atmosphere of the Nihonbashi district, you will have lunch.

Then you have a visit to the Tokyo Sky Tree by metro, a television broadcasting tower, and the tallest structure in Japan. Its observation decks offering spectacular views over Tokyo are the highlights of the tower. You visit the deck located at the height of 350 meters (1148 feet), so make sure to have your camera and phone charged!

After that, you will visit Asakusa Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo, and learn the legend of how this temple was built. The temple is known to bring good luck in almost anything, so make sure to make a wish! Here you can feel the traditional Japanese culture the moment you step onto the temple grounds. A shopping street called Nakamise leads from the outer gate to the temple's second gate; here, you can find a great selection of souvenirs as well as local confectionaries that the locals admire so much.

After the tour, you return to your hotel and have the evening at leisure.

Snow Monkey Park Trip (Jigokudani Monkey Park) 

After your breakfast in the hotel, you take a train from Tokyo to Nagano, and meet your private guide at the Nagano station. Together you are heading to the most famous attraction of Nagano City-The Snow Monkey Park.

This Park, also known as Jigokudani Yaen Koen, is a famous wildlife park located in the mountains of Nagano, Japan. The park is home to a group of Japanese macaques, commonly referred to as snow monkeys, who are known for their unique behavior of bathing in the park's natural hot springs during the winter months. Visitors can observe the snow monkeys up close in their natural habitat, as they relax and play in the steaming hot springs surrounded by snow-covered trees. The park also offers several hiking trails, which provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The Snow Monkey Park is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and animal lovers visiting Japan, and it offers a memorable and unique experience that is not to be missed.

After this amazing tour, the driver will return you to the train station and you take a train back to Tokyo.
