Tour description

Discover how the world’s biggest city was built and destroyed. Tokyo is a survivor of both the deadliest fire and the biggest bombing raid in human history—this is the story of how it rose from the ashes to become the futuristic metropolis of today.

You will learn about:
🔥 History: The inception of Tokyo and all of the changes it's endured to become the biggest city in the world
🏗️ Architecture: The why and how the city looks the way it does, while exploring some of the most unique buildings
🗳️ Politics & Religion: The current political landscape in Japan, with its scandals and controversies. Are state and religion truly separate?

Disclaimer:
THE TOUR IS AVAILABLE DURING THE RAIN, BUT OUR MAIN STOP IN THE TOKYO TOWER IS SHORTENED. 
The experience is still recommended, but we ask your understanding on this stop.

Places we visit:

🛕 Zōjō-ji Temple: The spiritual center of the Tokugawa Shoguns.

🗼 Tokyo Tower: The icon of Japan’s post-war miracle.
🛸 Reiyukai Shakaden: The futuristic "spaceship" temple.
⛩️ Nishikubo Hachiman Shrine: An ancient shrine hidden in the city.
🏙️ Azabudai Hills: The face of modern Tokyo.
