 Itinerary for Bespoke Empowerment | Airport Pick Up & Tokyo Immersive Program (starting from 3 days)

• Pre-arrival Tips | In addition to curating your bespoke itinerary, we will happily provide insightful tips on arrival airports, airline options, flight times or hotels during the consultation & planning period.

  Day 1: Holistic soft-landing for your mind and body 

   You | Though adrenaline will keep you energized for some time after arrival, your body will be exhausted after a long flight, and your mind could be foggy from lack of quality sleep.

  Purpose | Overturn your physical or cognitive disorientation and have a fulling day from Day 1! Staying active on arrival day is one of the best and most efficient way to help sync your mind and body to a new time zone.

  Arrival Pick-Up | You will be picked up at Tokyo's Haneda or Narita airport and taken to your hotel via private transportation, to check-in / drop off your luggage. The curator will be waiting for you at your hotel (or at the airport, in cases where deemed necessary).

  Destinations | On Day 1, we strongly recommend visiting sites or participating in activities that you find physically and cognitively less demanding (great individual variance).

  Meals | You might feel too bloated to even think about food immediately after the flight, but most people are ready to eat a full meal within a few hours after their arrival. An in-tour lunch is included and a recommendation /reservation assistance is available for the post-tour dinner.

  Rejuvenations | Rejuvenating moments or activities will be incorporated in your itinerary. It will be scheduled at the best hour to prevent a jet-lag "crash" before bedtime.
