Tour description

This tour takes you from the ancient Edo of the samurai, through the Meiji era , the devastation of World War II and its impact , and on to modern, futuristic Tokyo . We explore temples, shrines, historic parks, and cutting-edge architecture as we discover how this city was rebuilt from the ashes.

 We visited:

  •  πŸ›• Zojoji – Temple of the Tokugawa clan, spiritual center of the shogunate.
  •  πŸŒ³ Shiba Park – Historic park with privileged views of the Tokyo Tower.
  •  β›©οΈ Shiba-Toshogu Shrine – Shrine dedicated to the first shogun, hidden among ancient trees.
  •  πŸ—Ό Tokyo Tower – Built after the war, a symbol of Japanese rebirth.
  •  βš« Reiyukai Shakaden – A modern black stone temple, unique in its design and history.
  •  πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚️ Nishi-Kubo Shrine – Little-known shrine with ties to key figures in Imperial Japan.
  •  πŸŒ† Azabudai Hills – The new luxury and sustainability district, the image of the Tokyo of the future.


 We finish the tour by showing you how to access the 33rd-floor observatory at Azabudai Hills , with one of the most impressive views of the city.

πŸ“ If you want to understand how Tokyo has changedβ€”and survivedβ€”through the centuries, this tour is for you.
Reserve your spot and walk with us through the city's living history!
