|
ViaJapan Holidays have put together a fantastic flight + hotel offer for anyone who would like to experience a Japanese New Year in Tokyo. From just £975 you could be jetting off to Japan for a unique chance to mingle with the locals and to experience modern Tokyo and Japan’s ancient traditions.
Join the crowd of families and friends celebrating at Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine on New Year’s eve: the architecture of the shrine, the ringing bells, the decorations, the bonfires in the dark and the numerous little stalls selling everything form lucky charms to tasty treats create a great atmosphere.
Then warm up with a piping hot bowl of Year End Soba noodles (Toshikoshi Soba). Tokyo is one of the culinary capitals of the world, and during New Year you will have the opportunity to sample traditional festive dishes.
Over the next few days you have free time to explore the city at leisure. Yokohama and its Chinatown make for a lively day trip out of Tokyo. If you want to experience traditional culture, head to Kamakura for a day. Kamakura is world famous for its Great Buddha, several Zen temples and numerous Shinto Shrines such as Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, which is particularly popular for Hatsunode (the year's first visit to a Shrine).
