DayTripper: Toyko

Escape the city with more than 50 day trips from Tokyo, and discover Japan’s hidden treasures, including nature, history, food and drink, and more.

DayTripper: Tokyo is for anyone who wants to get off the beaten track and see more of what Japan has to offer. With over 50 day trips to explore, and a few overnight and weekend adventures thrown in, each trip is no more than a couple of hours from Tokyo by train. Explore hidden galleries and museums, visit shrines by bicycle or hike along some of the ancient trails that link these impressive monuments. Slow down and experience an onsen surrounded by lush forests, or stop overnight at a local ryokan in a historic postal town. For food lovers, there are excursions to sample local delicacies only found in remote regions, and sake brewery tours that offer tastings of this unique beverage. If pop culture is more your thing, then take a trip to the Ghibli Museum, Moomin Valley Park, or Ome Retro 60’s Town. Alternatively, take a masterclass in making (and eating!) noodles.

With maps, beautiful photography, and all the tips and tricks you need to make the most of your time in Japan, DayTripper: Tokyo will get you out of the city and experience the hidden gems that aren’t featured on the tourist brochures.
