After an unforgettable journey, we’re back in Tokyo for our Northern Honshu Road Trip Japan conclusion! Our last few days in Japan were all about luxury, sightseeing, and shopping, making for the perfect way to conclude this epic road trip.
For our last stop, we checked into the Conrad Tokyo, an incredible luxury hotel in the heart of Ginza. With breathtaking city views, impeccable service, and easy access to some of Tokyo’s best shopping and dining, it was the ideal place to unwind before heading home. We then spent our final days in Japan taking in some of the best sights and shopping experiences the city has to offer such as strolling through Ginza, shopping in Ikebukuro, and walking tours of the Imperial Palace and Sensoji Temple in Asakusa.
After our extensive self-drive adventure through Tohoku, we made sure to return our rental car on time—because, as we’ve mentioned in previous episodes, punctuality in Japan is taken very seriously – and made our way back to Haneda for our return flight back to the U.S. As we reflected on our journey, we couldn’t help but appreciate all the unique experiences, breathtaking landscapes, and cultural discoveries that made our road trip Japan conclusion one for the books.
If you’re planning a trip to Tokyo and looking for the best shopping spots, must-see historical sites, and a top-tier luxury hotel recommendation, this episode is a must-listen!
