Such an amazing tour. K had so many stories to tell. I liked the transition from the Edo to Meiji period in particular the story about the 100 soldiers building which is still pretty much standing in its original state. We also saw a very special carp. Great English and well travelled chap-the K. Totally recommend

I joined a walking tour around the Tokyo Imperial Palace with a guide who goes by K, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip in Tokyo. K’s energy was infectious from the very first moment. He didn’t just recite facts — he told stories. He painted vivid scenes from Japan’s past, explained the traditions that still shape daily life today, and wove everything together in a way that felt both engaging and effortless. What was meant to be a simple, aimless stroll around the palace became a captivating journey through history and culture. Thanks to K, I left with a deeper appreciation of the place and a sense of connection I absolutely didn’t expect. Highly recommended!!!
