Thank you to all the wonderful guests who joined our tour on May 6, 2017.     It was a beautiful sunny day but it felt a little hotter than a usual spring afternoon, so it was a good day to have some ice cream during the tour. (There is a place where you can buy ice cream inside the Imperial Palace East Gardens.)     When we gathered at the Tokyo station, it seemed the people walking around were a little bit fewer than usual. Maybe it’s because it was during what we Japanese call the “Golden Wee...

We welcomed more than 70 guests from all over the world to our regular tour on Saturday, April 29th. It was so nice a day until the last minute when sudden drizzle occurred as weather report just had told in the morning.   But it wasn't a big problem. We could see full of smiles on this day as usual! We must say good-by to cherry blossoms this year,  but flowers after flowers continue to bloom. Azalea wisteria And some beautiful flowers which I don't know! I am really happy to be born in a count...

Thank you to all the wonderful guests who joined our tour on April 8.

Thank you for all the guests kindly joining our regular tour on April 1. We had no less than 89 guests from 20 countries, and 16 volunteer guides. We divided into 6 groups and enjoyed the tour.

Usually it’s time when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, especially Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Somei-Yoshino cherry is a kind of cherry trees and is the most popular ...
