What To Expect
Imperial Palace
Since 1868, the Imperial Palace has served as the official residence of successive Emperors of Japan, symbolizing the nation's history and cultural heritage. The palace grounds include the Imperial Residence and the larger Imperial Palace Complex, surrounded by picturesque gardens and traditional moats. While much of the inner palace is not open to the public, visitors can explore the scenic East Gardens and enjoy seasonal blooms, making it a serene escape in the heart of Tokyo.
Senso-ji Temple
Sensoji Temple, an iconic symbol of Tokyo, is Japan's most visited temple, attracting over 20 million visitors annually. This ancient Buddhist temple, over 1,400 years old, offers a rich historical and cultural experience. As you approach the temple, you’ll pass through the famous Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), a vibrant entrance adorned with a giant red lantern. Beyond the temple, Nakamise Street hosts a variety of traditional shops where you can find Japanese souvenirs and street foods, adding to the lively atmosphere of this revered site.

5.00He took us to all the must-see spots, dropping us off and giving us plenty of time to explore each place at our own pace. He was also flexible and willing to take us anywhere we wanted, even places not originally on the itinerary. We’d definitely book with this company again—especially if we can have Ryo as our driver!
Excellent guide !

5.00Our driver, Ryo, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting where to go and what to see, while still being attentive to what we wanted to do. He customized the route perfectly to fit our interests and schedule. We managed to see so much in just one day—including Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Skytree, the fish market, the Imperial Palace, and Shinjuku—before heading to the airport. It was the perfect way to experience Tokyo with limited time!
