East Gardens of the Imperial Palace

Today we welcomed 36 guests from U.S.A. ,Canada, Columbia, U.K., Holland, Germany,Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Australia, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan. It was a cozy weather. We all felt comfortable during the tour. Our guests really enjoyed scenery and taking pictures a lot. And each guest had fun to chat with each other. In Japan when it comes to autumn, it’s the best season for tasting food. Speaking of food, the 14th Shogun, TOKUGAWA IEMOCHI, loved Japanese sweets, so he ha...

We were delighted to have 69 guests from India, Belgium, Australia, Germany, France, USA, Georgia, Peru, Iceland, Israel, Singapore, New Zealand, Canada, Argentine, Netherland, Spain and U.K. We divided into 6 groups. It was really clear weather. No clouds in the sky. The temperature was warm but not hot and not humid anymore. Summer ended and Autumn has began. That was typical Autumn fine weather, which we call "Akibare." So clear that we were able to see the bottom of the moat around the imper...

We thank you for your joining us on 13 Oct. Totally 11 guests joined us. It was quite cold and cloudy day. Recently, the weather in Japan is quite changeable and unusually, we have lots of rains this year. Yet, it was very nice for us to have 11 friendly guests Because of the normal working day, we could see many business person on the streets in Tokyo station and Marunouchi area, . We hope you felt some dynamics on Japanese business, under reviving from the dark days some time ago. Autumn is on...

Thank you the guests who kindly joined our tour on 10th of October. We had 15 guests from four countries, divided by two groups. Late August through September is the typhoon season in Japan. Apart from the typhoon season, we have cloudy or rainy days this autumn. Our tour on Monday was just like that, cloudy but no rain, not too hot or not too cold, a nice day for our walking tour. You may know the next summer Olympic will be held at Tokyo in 2020, but do you also know we had the one before? It ...

Thank you for all the guests joining our tour this day. It was raining and pouring harder and harder around noon so we were wondering if our guests have change up their mind to do in-door activity this afternoon... Although, no matter of the bad weather, we welcomed 51 guests and it did not even need to put up umbrella anymore at the start of our tour. It looked like the rain has ceased for us! We welcomed guests from Canada, Australia, U.S.A., U.K., Israel, Lebanon, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany...

Thank you for all the guests who joined us last week on October 1st. Apologies for the late update due to technical issues. I went with a group of just over 20 guests. Early on in the tour we talked about how our new govenor, Yuriko Koike, once suggested introducing double-decker trains in order to improve the infamous Tokyo rush hours. Koike has been in office since August as the first female governor of Tokyo. Perhaps the most debated item on her agenda is the relocation of the Tsukiji Market....

We welcomed 8 guests from Switzerland, U.S.A, Belgium, and Italy. We divided the guests into 3 groups and started our tour  at 10:00 am from Tokyo Station. It was cloudy and so humid. By good smell of "Kinmokusei" or frangrant olives we could feel the beginning of autumn. In the garden  we also could see "Jugatsuzakura" or literally "October cherry blossoms". The pink flowers were so cute. Thanks to all the guests for joinning and having a good time with us. Please enjoy the rest of your stay in...

Thank you very much to all the guests for joining our tour despite heavy rain. We welcomed 25 guests from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and UK. We feel sorry for those who stayed in Tokyo for past 1 week, because it had been raining for most of the day.  It is because Japan is now in Typhoon season. Typhoon (Taifu in Japanese) is violent tropical rainstorms happened in the Pacific Ocean.  They usually hit Japan during July to October.  And if a ty...

Since the crazily hot August went away, now we are supposed to be in cool autumn. But it was still hot and humid. Nevertheless we amazingly welcomed 55guests . We split into 6groups and began the tour from Marunouchi north gate of Tokyo station at 1:00pm.(Initially the starting point was Marunouchi central gate, but it was moved to north gate for a renovation temporally.) This is one of the guiding points, Japan Industry Club-building. Intriguing statues are on top of it. These are the group-pho...

Thank you for joining our Tokyo Free Walking Tour. We welcomed around sixty guests on Sep. 10th tour and split them into five groups. This is because we are mutually able to make a tour for two hours.            Our tour started at Tokyo station and via modern commercial district we went into the compound of old Edo castle, where it’s now called “East Gardens of the Imperial Place”.         At the start of the tour, the weather was not so perfect and occasionally the sky was exceedingly covered ...
