DARK AND TRADITIONAL TOKYO #1 | Origin: Mythology, Religion, and Samurais in Ueno & Yanaka (NIGHT TOUR)

Night walking tour experience with an independent Spanish-speaking guide through the traditional heart of Tokyo. Focused on Japanese history, mythology, legend, and society. 

Welcome to Japan! 

Do you already want to start exploring and don't know where to begin?… Can you imagine walking among cultural parks, neon lights, and feeling Tokyo from its origins?…. This is your tour!

I am Yennifer, a guide and psychologist specialized in Japanese culture. Let's enter the heart of the most populated metropolis in the world and the most characteristic corners of its cultural identity, mythology, and history.

📍 Starting point: JR Ueno central station, outside the entrance.

⛩️We will start by observing and walking around the station; the northern gateway and migration symbol of the passage to the present to immerse ourselves in the nocturnal atmosphere of Ueno's cultural park, which houses the oldest museum and zoo in all of Japan, as well as the history of its traditions and royal origins.

🎎We will continue to immerse ourselves in Japanese mythology, legend, and folklore in the area of the ponds and lotus flowers, as well as the influence of religions. Yes!! all of this in an area surrounded by that intriguing nature and traditional beauty.

🎑We will reach the “arch of life” along with the history and company of the identity represented in a myth and towards the fierce unification of the country.

🇯🇵We will continue to the sacred space of the shogunate and the clan honored in the center of this territory, as well as those remnants of the battle that initiated Japan's opening to the world.

🎏Finally, we will end by walking towards one of the most cultural, important, and beautiful memorial spaces in Tokyo with the company of everything that was re-signified to appreciate the memories of a Tokyo and Japan dazzled by the change of seasons: Yanaka cemetery park.

Let's live this experience!
