Moving Art in Greater Tokyo
Japan has a rich history of traditional, modern, and experiential art, and Greater Tokyo is one of the best places to dive in! On this two-day course, visitors will explore traditional and modern marvels in Tokyo, before heading to Kanagawa Prefecture to explore the country’s natural beauty.
JR EAST Pass - Nagano, Niigata
For this course, we recommend JR EAST’s Welcome Suica. Welcome Suica is a pass that makes exploring the Tokyo, Kanagawa, and the Greater Tokyo area more affordable and convenient; simply tap the card on the ticket gate, and hop aboard! Welcome Suica can be used on JR EAST trains, subways, and busses, so getting around is a cinch, and doesn’t require a ticket. It can even be used to make purchases at convenience stores and vending machines!
