What's the best day trip from Tokyo? I've seen modern Japan but have one day to see traditional Japan (travel out of city).
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. Kamakura
Kamakura, one hour south of Tokyo, is full of historic temples and shrines. It makes a perfect one-day trip from Tokyo.

2. Nikko
Nikko, two hours north of Tokyo, is the site of the famous Nikko Toshogu Shrine, the mausoleum of one of Japan's most influential personalities. The shrines and temples of Nikko can be seen in a one day trip from Tokyo, but if you also wish to visit Nikko's beautiful national park, at least two days are recommended.

M$You can also see Lake Ashi all in one day.
There are many tour packages to choose from...
Here is one I've used.
