Go On a Walking Tour to Discover Historical Tokyo!
Overview
In this tour, you will visit historical and traditional sites of Tokyo with a local guide who speaks English.
Highlights
- Asakusa Sensouji temple is unique place that both Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine coexist in the same precincts and good to learn the difference of them. You can try various kind of Japanese food and sweets at Nakamise street, as well as other area in Asakusa.
- The Meiji shrine, more than 3 million people visit for new year’s greeting. You will feel a special sacred Japanese atmosphere at the shrine. If you are lucky, you may come across a Japanese traditional bridal procession at the precincts.
- Hamarikyuu Garden built in Edo era. They say there used be more than 600~700 of Japanese gardens like this, but most of them were disappeared during the Meiji Era. Fortunately, this garden could remain with almost original landscape. So, many vestiges of old days can be seen throughout the garden.
- Yanaka has a feeling of old downtown atmosphere with nostalgia. Wherever we walk, we come across temples. Why? A guide would like to answer it during the tour. Yanaka Cemetery is also interesting place to visit to know how Japanese people visit to worship their ancestors. Yanaka Ginza is small but charming shopping street for locals. It’s a fun to walk and eat delicious local foods.
