It is a complex of ornate, brilliantly red buildings constructed by Ieyasu's son, Hidetada, in honor of his father. The three main halls within the complex are designed with influences from different architectural styles. The intricately carved ceiling in the Honden Hall inside the temple is particularly captivating for visitors.

This bronze statue stands 13.35 meters tall (including its base) and weighs approximately 93 tons; it holds significant importance in religious history. Dating back to 1252 during the Kamakura period—when feudalism began and samurai emerged—we will then proceed to Hokoku-ji Temple, our next destination. Known for its bamboo groves spread across an area of about 13,000 square meters, this temple holds an important place in Buddhist tradition. It was founded by the monk Tengan Eko to honor the ancestor of the Ashikaga clan. Nicknamed "Take-dera," meaning "Bamboo Temple," we will take a brief exploration within this unique site, where over 2,000 bamboo plants come together. Midway through our tour, we will pause for a traditional Japanese green tea experience. Afterward, we will return to the hotel for overnight accommodation.
Our ship will dock at Tokyo port at 07:00. After breakfast, we will complete the disembarkation procedures and depart with our waiting vehicle for the "Tokyo City Tour." Our first stop will be the Imperial Palace, which houses numerous buildings including the private residences of the Imperial Family, archives, museums, and administrative offices. The Tokyo Imperial Palace was built on the site of an ancient castle that once served as the residence of the Shogun in the 15th century. In the 19th century, when Emperor Meiji moved the imperial court from Kyoto to Tokyo, this area became the property of the Imperial Family. Since most of the buildings were destroyed during World War II, the oldest surviving items in the palace are only about 50 years old. Our second stop will be Ginza, one of Tokyo's most popular shopping districts, known for its luxury boutiques and top-tier cocktail and sushi bars. As one of the world's premier luxury shopping areas, Ginza welcomes countless tourists from around the globe. Next, we will visit Sensoji Temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon-do, a Buddhist temple recognized as one of Tokyo's oldest and most colorful temples. Often referred to as the "Temple of the Three Deities," Asakusa is highly popular among both tourists and locals. It is one of the few temples in Tokyo that survived the bombing raids at the end of World War II, so the original structure remains largely intact. The temple also hosts the annual Sanja Festival every May. According to legend, Sensoji Temple was built by two fishermen to honor Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Following the temple, we will walk through Nakamise Shopping Street. We will then continue our tour with a visit to Akihabara, one of Tokyo's most famous neighborhoods worldwide. Akihabara is an extremely bustling shopping district renowned for its diverse range of electronics stores, from small stalls to large shopping malls. After the tour, we will have free time before transferring to the airport. Upon arrival at the airport, after completing check-in and passport formalities, we will depart for Singapore on Singapore Airlines flight SQ633 at 16:40. We will arrive in Singapore at 23:20 local time, where we will have a layover for rest.
