My two passions (travel and photography) united in a job that I love. After living several years in Kenya and Morocco. The love of Japanese culture and a husband trapped me in Japan. Discover parts of the authentic Tokyo, outside the typical sight guided by someone who has lived in the country for many years and understands its customs.

Tour description

Get to know the most authentic Tokyo, outside the conventional tours to visit some famous temples such as the Naritasan Fukagawa Fudodo, where the fire ritual and TAIKO (Japanese drum) are performed, the Shinto shrine Tomioka Hachimangu, origin of the current sumo. 

Enjoy one of the most beautiful Japanese gardens in the city, away from the crowds, the kiyozumi Teien entrance fee (150 yen) and/or the Edo-era museum (400 yen) with life-size replicas of the houses in the Kotoku quarter during the Edo period, giving you a better idea of what life was like in the shitamachi (old centre) of Tokyo.

The visit to the museum lasts about 30 minutes, and inside there are free guided tours, where they explain many curiosities of the time.

The TAIKO ceremony and the Edo museum are both located in the INDOOR, so in case of rain, NO PROBLEM!

The App is designed so that it can only be booked for 5 people,
 if you book and do not attend the tour, you are taking away the opportunity to other people who would like to do it, and it would also affect me personally, so please, book ONLY FOR 1 PERSON, just write me privately telling me how many of you will be in the group, and if you can not attend, please cancel the tour as soon as possible through the App.

Come and discover these little hidden gems in the trendy neighbourhood for its specialised cafes with me, you won't regret it!

We had a very rainy day. Maria did her best , and a few changes in the plan, and it was very good tour. Maria is very nice and has alot of information about Japan. The visit in the show in the temple was really impressive

Creo que el tour tiene mucho potencial y es una zona que no se recorrería de manera individual, es decir sin guía. vale la pena hacerlo, recomiendo tomar este tour y descubrir estos secretos de la ciudad.
