The Finale of the Yearly Cherry Blossom Rhapsody: the April 13 Asakusa and Ueno tours

Thank you for having joined our free walking tour. This day, we welcomed 21 guests for the Asakusa AM and PM tours and 8 guests for the Ueno Park tour.

Tour Report of Meiji Shrine on April 6, 2025

Having welcomed 10 guests from US, Canada, Israel, Malaysia, we conducted the Meiji Shrine tour in 4 groups. As it gets warmer day by day, more visitors seem to pay a visit to the shrine. After the tour I walked around the area where we do not go on our tour.
