Overview
Maximize your art viewing and shopping time with this tour that handles all the details.
This tour is perfect for connoisseurs of quality Japanese art who are looking to cut to the chase. By providing your own personal artistic tastes prior to the tour, your guide will organize this tour to highlight the galleries that are most likely to be offering exactly what you've been longing for.
Your guide will meet you at your hotel and from there you will proceed on your art expedition using Tokyo's efficient public transportation system. The number of fine galleries here are limitless but your guide will have the route planned out to help make your art dreams a reality.
Whether your artistic interests lie in antiques (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc), ceramics, Ukiyo-e prints, drawings, paintings or sculptures, your guide will have pre-arranged a personal shopping experience for you at some of the most esteemed galleries in the city and will provide translation between you and the gallery as well. This combination of planning, personal attention and expert translation will hopefully result in a successful acquisition of the perfect addition to your collection.
At the end of the tour, your guide will be happy to escort you back to your hotel. If you prefer to linger at a gallery or visit a museum, you will be responsible for finding your own way back to your hotel, either via public transportation or taxi.
- As this is a private tour, please contact ShoreTrips if you would prefer a different departure time.
- If you choose to stay in the city at the end of this tour, rather than have your guide escort you back to your hotel, you will be responsible for making your own way back. Your guide will be happy to provide you with instructions on how to return to your hotel via public transportation or taxi.
