Tokyo Now #9: Tokyo Free Walking Tour Now (1)

While our walking tours are still suspended, it does not mean we totally suspend TFWT activities.  In addition to  regular monthly meetings, members are organizing various kinds of online activities, such as study meeting (ex. Recommended small talk topics,  deep dive of Japanese castle, popular animated movies & magazine, etc.), virtual tours for members to be prepared for real tour,  catch-up gathering.  

Also, we have just kicked-off on-site walking tours for members, observing the latest advisory from the government and health authorities with the utmost care and attention.

Focus of this issue is the on-site members only tour held on the latest Saturday.

East Gardens of the Imperial Palace route

Route : Tokyo Station -> Maru no uchi district -> East Gardens of the Imperial Palace)

Attraction of this route: Comparison of Tokyo between modern & present and old days.

Participant members gathered at the meeting place “Tokyo Station Marunouchi Central Gate (ground floor)”.  It’s been almost 4 months since we met on-site, so happy indeed!

Sharing information, we walked entire course.

Output is the best input indeed.  Members are so eager to share and learn, thus we stayed at the first view point “Tokyo Station”  for 30min!

Let us introduce you a unique objet you will encounter during the tour.

You can learn about Bushi-do (the spirit of Samurai or Samurai aesthetics).

We did good job!! Cheers!!

Looking forward to resuming tours and welcoming you!
