Itinerary

1. Zojoji Temple, with a history of approximately 600 years, is a hidden gem where you can enjoy both a magnificent Buddhist temple and Tokyo Tower at the same time. (40 min)
2. The Tokyo Imperial Palace, located in the heart of Tokyo, was built on the site where Edo Castle once stood. With over 400 years of history and tradition, it is a uniquely Japanese attraction where visitors can experience imperial culture up close. Many historical structures and beautiful seasonal gardens remain, offering a variety of attractions within its serene and dignified atmosphere. (50 min)
3. One of the must-see spots when visiting Japan is Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. Walk through Nakamise Shopping Street, where you'll find plenty of souvenirs, to visit the historic temple. (40 min)
4. Interestingly, due to the influence of Shinbutsu-shūgō (the syncretism of Buddhism and Shinto), Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine are located within the same grounds. You can see the differences between a temple and a shrine firsthand. (10 min)
5. We will have a light meal around the Asakusa area. Please contact the guide in advance and let them know your restaurant preferences directly. (50 min)
