Meeting Point

At your hotel in Tokyo 23 Districts (Hoshino Resort Hotel)

Your hotel in Tokyo`s 23 districs

I will meet you at your hotel in Tokyo to start the tour.

Yasukuni Shrine

Defined as "Shrine of Peace for the Nation", Yasukuni Shrine was founded in 1869, the 2nd year of Meiji Era of Japan. It enshrines approximately 2.5 million Japanese and other nationals. The designation of the shrine is the prayer and repose of soul of the people who dedicated their lives. While this shrine has been the serious subject in the international politics and humanity discussions, I personally dedicate my prayer for the sacred humans who dedicated their souls and lives and for the eternal peace of the world. I try my best to explain the historical background of Japan together with my views of the world peace.

Yanaka Ginza

Just 15 minutes walk from JR Nippori Station, Yanaka Ginza offers the nostalgic atmosphere of Tokyo's early Showa Period. People make a point of preserve good old historical assets. This nostalgia would never be created by artificial intelligence as complex human activities and lives have created such atmosphere. Yanaka Ginza's history goes back to the mid 20th century, when Tokyo and Japan have started to recover from the devastating war.

Nezu Shrine

Known as 1900 year old shrine from the original foundation, the current construction is said to have been built in 1706 by the 6th Shogun of the Edo Government. The red Torii Gates are called one of Tokyo's "spiritual" spots.

Lunch

Subject to final confirmation

Kappabashi Dougu-gai (Kitchen-ware Street)

Asakusa : Tokyo's oldest Buddhist Temple - historical wonderland (No admission fee)

Asakusa has Tokyo's oldest Buddhist Temple - "SEN-SO-JI". The fact that Tokyo did have sophisticated culture as early as in the 7th century is not well known while we all focus on Kyoto and Nara when discussing Japan`s history. Asakusa is Tokyo's No.1 place to feel and experience old history of Tokyo.

Riverside walk along Tokyo's most well-known Sumida River

This refreshing reverside stroll will give you the spectakular view of Tokyo Sky Tree Tower - the highest construction in Japan. From Asakusa side, you will see the 21st century from the 7th century of Tokyo.
