Tour Report on 18-February, 2017, Saturday

Thank you the guests who kindly joined our tour on 18th of February. We had 24 guests from 9 countries, divided by four groups. The Saturday was cloudy and chilly day. However, we had very strong wind and warm day on Friday. Such wind in February or March is called Haru-Ichi-Ban (春一番), which literally means “first wind in Spring”. Such changeable weather indicates that Spring is just around the corner, and we have to take care ourselves to keep fit more than usual. By the way, I went to Izu Pen...

Tour Report on Thursday, February 16 (Weekday Tour)

Tokyo Free Walking Tour thanks all four wonderful guests, who joined the tour on February 16. It was a warm, pleasant spring morning without strong wind. Many guides in this volunteer group shout “Say SUSHI!” when we take photos of international tourists. One of the unique points of Japanese cuisine is that people eat raw fish very often. Sushi and sashimi, both raw fish, have been traditional food in Japan since the time when we have no refrigerator. Raw fish have to be very fresh, but how has ...

East Gardens of the Imperial Palace

Tour Report on 31-January, 2017 Tuesday

Thank you for all the guests joining our regular tour on January 31. We had 15 guests. Many of them came from so warm areas that they were shrinking up with cold wind. Strong wind and dry air are typical in Tokyo in winter. That’s why big fires occurred repeatedly in Edo (the former name of Tokyo in the early modern age). But you find the air is very clear in this season. The sky, the water are also clear and beautiful. The pond in the Imperial Palace reflects trees and the blue sky. The carps i...
