Let's explore the traditional and modern sides of Tokyo.
I don't know if you think something is different in Japan, but I suppose it is because it is based on a unique discipline called Shinto.
Let's explore what makes Japan unique by visiting several unique sites in Tokyo.
This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures.
I am based in Tokyo, but I am happy to arrange any kind of tour even to Kyoto and Nara. Just contact me for further details!
