Despite the unexpected consequences of the typhoon the previous day, Rucha was able to adapt and deliver a wonderful experience. She was very kind, informative, and more than willing to share her knowledge to the group or individually. We would highly recommend this tour!

Highlights

Walk through the history of Edo-era shoguns and samurai in the heart of Tokyo! Explore the Imperial Palace East Garden, built on the former site of Edo Castle, the center of the Tokugawa shogunate, with a local guide. Discover massive castle gates, moats, stone walls, and castle ruins while hearing fascinating stories from the era of Tokugawa shoguns to modern Japan. You can also enjoy the beautiful Ninomaru Garden and a pond with koi fish, making it a great place to enjoy both history and gardens.

Program

The Shogun's Tokyo: Tracing the Footsteps of Edo Castle

The current Imperial Palace East Garden stands on the grounds of Edo Castle, which once ruled Japan. Walk through the garden with your guide to find remnants of Edo Castle, such as its gates, massive stone walls, moats, and foundation ruins.

Beyond just sightseeing, you'll hear stories of the shoguns and samurai who wielded power from Edo Castle. Learn about the politics and society of the Edo period and the transition from feudalism to modern Japan in an engaging way.

Gates and Castle Ruins That Guarded Edo Castle

Pass through the magnificent gates that once protected the center of the shogunate and explore the areas where Edo Castle's traces remain. Imagining the scale of the former castle with the guide's explanations is part of the tour's fun. Examine the stone foundations and castle ruins of buildings that no longer exist to understand the scale and defensive structure of Edo Castle at the time. Even first-time visitors to Tokyo can naturally connect the current Imperial Palace with the past Edo Castle through the guide's stories.

Ninomaru Garden: Beautiful in All Seasons

Along with the historical castle ruins, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Palace East Garden. The Ninomaru Garden, in particular, offers a view of the Japanese garden that changes with the seasons. Stroll through the garden and admire the koi swimming in the pond and the well-maintained nature. This tour offers a chance to enjoy Japanese history and garden culture while taking a moment of relaxation in the bustling heart of Tokyo.
