What To Expect
The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace - Edo Castle Ruin
Visit the ruins of Edo Castle where the gigantic stone walls and beautiful watch towers still exist. Learn about the strategies of the Tokugawa Shogunate that led to the Edo era lasting for 265 years, and reflect on the life of the SHOGUNs. In the Japanese garden, recreated after gardens from the Edo period, you can enjoy seasonal flowers and special variety of carps.
Kagurazaka
We will visit the historic area of Kagurazaka, which was developed by SHOGUN 400 years ago and remains one of Tokyo's six Geisha districts. Thanks to the nearby Institut Francais, the area has a unique atmosphere that blends good old Japan and France. The bustling shopping streets remain, providing a great opportunity to see the lives of ordinary Japanese people up close and enjoy shopping like one of the locals.

4.00Modern city meets ancient traditions. A fantastic, fast-paced tour with incredible sights. Would’ve preferred longer stops at museums.
Solo trip to Japan, Tokyo; best experience!

5.00It was my first time visiting Tokyo; I felt anxious and wanted to explore the essential historic sites. Akiko made sure I felt at home and was kind enough to explain the history behind each site. She communicates well and provides examples so you can associate the history of a Japanese native. Overall, I had great food, explored all major parts, and wanted to return to Japan. I highly recommend using her tours!! You'll learn a lot and have fun doing it. The best investment you will make is to learn more about Tokyo :)
A great time of sharing

5.00I visited the Meiji-Shrine and the Harajuku district with Akiko last september. She was very friendly, flexible and keen to talk about Japanese culture, society and customs in addition of the tourist information about the sites. The tour enabled me to see little details that I wouldn't have noticed on my own. Akiko also gave me very good advice on how to continue visiting the city. I'd definitely recommend it!
Tour the sights of Tokyo and make a new friend

5.00I truly enjoyed my customised tour with Akiko. She is very friendly and knowledgeable about the sights and also has a playful manner to make it great fun and memorable. Her English is excellent and it's very easy to understand her explanations. But what really delighted me is that we chatted about a lot of various topics and I could finally understand much better about Japanese people and culture. It was such a wonderful experience and it was hard to part at the end of the tour, like I had made a new friend.
