Highlights

You never see Tokyo until you see Edo. By joying the tour, you will experience the present Japanese culture, history, the way of thinking, and a sense of beauty developed from the Edo period. I am sure I will be able to provide you with the most impressive tour. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you. See you soon!


In 1603 the first Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, built the Edo castle and established the Edo government. This is the beginning of Edo, which is the old name of Tokyo. From then on, Tokyo's history and Tokyo culture started.


Tokyo Cruise (the Sumida river: Asakusa to Hamarikyu Garden) takes about 40 minutes. The ocean views are waiting for you.

Itinerary

  • Edo-Tokyo Museum

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Edo-Tokyo Museum is the best place to learn Edo and the transition from Edo to Tokyo. For example, what are emperors, shoguns, and feudal lords and their roles in the Edo period. After that, we walk around the Ryogoku neighborhood.

  • Senso-ji Temple

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    Asakusa has the oldest temple and shrine in Tokyo and is the most popular place among the Japanese and foreign people.

  • Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    you can enjoy (window) shopping. Also you will learn how to purify yourself before appearing in front of shinto deities and how to pray.

  • Hama Rikyu Gardens

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Hama-rikyu Gardens is one of the three most beautiful Japanese style gardens in Tokyo. (This is my opinion.) It was once the family garden of Tokugawa shoguns in the Edo period which functioned as an outer citadel defending the Edo Castle. If you are interested in Japanese tea called “matcha” made from powdered green tea leaves, you can try to have one. If you request another place, I can arrange it. (For example, if you have visited Asakusa already, I recommend visiting the Tokyo Skytree instead of Asakusa.)
