• Jidaiya - Jidaiya offers Japanese cultural experience programs for those looking for an enriching alternative to Asakusa sightseeing and for individuals desiring a deeper, more authentic Japanese experience.
• Asakusa - Asakusa is the heart of Tokyo’s shitamachi (literally “low city”), a district where the atmosphere of Tokyo from past decades is preserved.

Asakusa’s main attraction is Sensoji, a highly popular Buddhist temple built in the 7th century. Visitors approach the temple via the Nakamise, a shopping street that has been offering traditional local snacks and tourist souvenirs for centuries.

Asakusa is easily explored on foot.

• Senso-ji Temple - Sensoji is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo’s most vibrant and popular temples.

Legend has it that in 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, from the Sumida River. Despite returning the statue to the river, it always came back to them. As a result, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo’s oldest temple.

• Meiji Jingu Shrine - Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Situated next to the bustling Harajuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park form a large forested area within the densely built city. The expansive shrine grounds offer walking paths perfect for a leisurely stroll.

The shrine was completed and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920, eight years after the emperor’s passing and six years after the empress’s. The shrine was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s largest and most beloved parks. Located a short walk from Shinjuku Station, the park’s expansive lawns, winding walking paths, and serene scenery provide a peaceful escape from the bustling urban center.

• Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - Koishikawa Korakuen is one of Tokyo’s oldest and finest Japanese gardens. It was constructed in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family. Like its counterpart in Okayama, the garden was named Korakuen after a poem encouraging a ruler to enjoy pleasure only after ensuring his people’s happiness. Koishikawa is the district where the garden is located.

• Imperial Palace - This tour does not include access to the interior of the Imperial Palace
  The current Imperial Palace is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in central Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station. It is the residence of Japan’s Imperial Family.

Edo Castle was the seat of the Tokugawa shogun who ruled Japan from 1603 until 1867. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the country’s capital and imperial residence were moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. In 1888, construction of a new Imperial Palace was completed. The palace was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in the same style afterward.

• Rikugien Garden - Rikugien is often regarded as Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape garden alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and recreates in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden is a prime example of an Edo Period strolling garden, featuring a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.

• Akihabara - Akihabara (秋葉原), also known as Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo renowned for its numerous electronics shops. In recent years, Akihabara has become recognized as the center of Japan’s otaku (diehard fan) culture, with many shops and establishments dedicated to anime and manga now interspersed among the district’s electronic stores. On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March).
• Takeshita Street - Harajuku (原宿) refers to the area around Tokyo’s Harajuku Station, situated between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the hub of Japan’s most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights.

The focal point of Harajuku’s teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, which are lined with numerous trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothing stores, crepe stands, and fast food outlets catering to fashion and trend-conscious teens.

• Nezu - Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two neighborhoods that comprise shitamachi, Tokyo’s old downtown—retain their last-century charm. Historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine are nestled among shitamachi’s narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops, and retro stores selling old-style sweets and snacks. Here, visitors can step back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.
• Godzilla Road - Near the famous Japanese-style bar district of Golden Gai, visitors can see Godzilla towering over Shinjuku! This area is bustling with nightlife shops and also features many nearby arcades and the new Kabukicho building with Japanese outdoor-style restaurants inside. Clean and visitor-friendly!
