Japanese Gardens and Tokyo Life: Bunkyo City Customized Tour

Bunkyo City is in the heart of central Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live now. We'll move around the city with a Bunkyo City Community Bus, B-guru ( “beagle”, the mascot character of the bus), and visit Edo-Tokyo Japanese gardens and other calm and pleasant sites. You'll also catch a glimpse of Tokyo citizens’ life during the tour.

Japanese Gardens and Tokyo Life: Bunkyo City Customized Tour

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai

The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai

Tokyo,Now &Then

Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.

Tokyo,Now &Then

How about an enjoyable walking in Tokyo?

There are lots of sightseeing spots in Tokyo. I will arrange a customized one-day tour based upon your requirements so that you could enjoy your stay in Tokyo. We can discuss and decide places to visit effectively for a limited amount of time. One example is shown here as follows, but I'm sure I will take you to some of my best selections so that you could enjoy both of traditional and modern culture. I can arrange an appropriate lunch restaurant based upon your requirement.

Visiting Nara from Osaka ～truly the must-see place in Japan～

Nara: the must-see place in Japan. Nara was the capital of ancient Japan before Kyoto became the capital. In the Nara era, Buddhism played an important role in stabilizing the country.

So, if you have only one free day to spend in the Kansai area, I highly recommend visiting Nara.

“Yoko is EXCELLENT! Our time with her was priceless. ”

Yoko is an excellent, caring and joyful guide. We just LOVED her! As this was our first and most likely our only trip to beautiful Japan we wanted to make it count. Yoko worked with me through the GWG messaging platform to create perfect and VERY personalized itineraries for our time in Tokyo. We spent two full days and one evening with Yoko that included a day trip to Kamakura and a ½ day trip to Shibamaba. We saw everything we wanted to see and so much more. She was so sweet, interesting and informative. She assisted with all of our transportation needs (trains, buses, taxi’s) and even helped me purchase our Shinkansen tickets to Kyoto (our next destination). Loved all the restaurants she took us to and we even returned to one when we were on our own. All aspects of logistics to move around the sights we wanted to visit were incredibly efficient. We are seniors (60s/70s) of average fitness and can walk for several miles each day but must be mindful of steep steps without handrails and significantly uneven surfaces. Yoko was always sensitive to our comfort and needs. She looked after us like a fierce mamma bear! Because of Yoko, our time in Tokyo was perfect and 100% stress and worry free. It was hard to say goodbye… Thank you Yoko! Tracey & Pete

A last minute cruise detour found us docking in Hiroshima. We were extremely lucky to find Miyouri available. We had an EXCEPTIONAL day touring both Miyajima and the Peace Park. The compassion, knowledge and ability to share her knowledge with us was beyond our expectations. She even brought along home made origami birds for us to leave at the Children’s memorial.

Miyu F.

Thank you for your warm and kind words. I feel fortunate as well, because your cruise ship’s visit to Hiroshima gave me the chance to spend a wonderful day with you. I hope the memories of Hiroshima will stay with you forever.

“Best Kyoto tour private guide ”

Ayumi is a very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. Very responsive and easy to communicate. I liked the fact that she is flexible to personalize your tour and add on or change any sightseeing/place you want to see. She was on time. Ayumi speaks very good English and explains the Japanese tradition and history of every place you visit. It was a great fun experience and day. It was very easy and worry free day. She takes care of traveling via train, subway, and let you choose a yummy typical Japanese restaurant for lunch. You can shop with her or get an ice cream too. Lots of good pictures and memories. I highly recommend Ayumi to everyone in the Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe area. Ayumi is the best!

Ayumi S.

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you. I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and made great memories in Kyoto. I hope to see you again someday soon!! Safe travels!
