12:00pm—Check in at Aman Tokyo
Like a ryokan in the sky, Aman Tokyo offers the calm charm and authenticity of traditional Japanese bathhouses while inviting the city's electric energy in through soaring floor-to-ceiling windows.
If you're going to splurge on accomodation in Tokyo, there really is no better place to do it.
1:00pm—Wander the Imperial Palace
There's nothing like a blue sky day in Tokyo, best enjoyed as you wander the grounds of the Imperial Palace. Although particularly beautiful with sakura in the spring and with shades of orange and red in the fall, the sprawling site is breathtaking all year round.

3:00pm—Grazing in Ginza
Kokyo Gaien National Garden, the outer gardens of the Imperial Palace, is just a stone’s throw from Ginza. If you’ve built up a royal appetite after wandering the palace grounds, make a beeline for Mitsukoshi Ginza’s basement where you can graze your way through the department store's internationally renowned food hall. There's everything from picture perfect pastries at Dominique Ansel Bakery to Japanese specialities, including the famous Hakone Akatsukian soba shop where soba is rolled and cut by hand.
Tatler tip: Shop up a storm at the food hall, and bring your selections upstairs to Mitsukoshi Ginza's surprisingly lush and peaceful rooftop for a picnic.
Just around the corner from Mitsukoshi is Dover Street Market, the artistic multi-brand store by Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo, which houses creatively designed concessions for brands ranging from Nike to Prada to Thom Browne. Even if you aren't looking to cop the latest in fashion, it's worth visiting for the gallery-worthy curation alone.
