Thank you for joining our walking tour to Imperial Palace East Gardens on June 27th. We were so happy to have met all 16 guests from Canada,U.S.A.,Belgium,Georgia,and Australia. The guests were divided into 4 groups with few of our guides in each group. This day was a weekday, so the garden was more peaceful and quiet than on weekends. It was a hot and windy day.

Strolling around the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is also great for rainy days. A sunny day is absolutely the best time to visi...

Welcome to “Nippon” or “Nihon” 16 JUNE 2018 tour report

No more Sakura, but another beautiful flowers here in Tokyo

Thank you for the guests who kindly joined our afternoon tour on 9th of June. We had 19 guests from six countries, divided into three groups. I do this guide volunteering from several years, and believed I’ve known well the area which has beautiful flower or the best season to see them. However, it was false. I was arrogant. Thanks to one of our guest’s suggestion, I saw a beautiful big Magnolia flower on the tour route for the first time on last Saturday. It boomed beautifully, solemnly, and it...
