Sumida Riverside Walk : Garden &Temple Ritual (4 Treffpunkte)

It was a great experience. It was about a 3 hour tour but that’s because we wanted to explore more of the area. Very interesting and well thought out tour!

I really enjoyed exploring Fukagawa with Hiro! Everything was perfect from the meet up place, the route, the program itself, the other participants, the atmosphere. I never expected it to be so fun, relaxed but also packed with knowledge and new discoveries! Hiro is one of the best guides that I have met so far, and I have traveled a lot! He is super friendly, funny, expert in so many fields including history, nature, local sights and culture, Japanese religion, and food! On top of that all he has a great command of English so basically the we just joked and laughed all the way through the tour so I have now the best memories of this area and the tour day too! I am very grateful to Hiro and can predict that he is going to be one of the most popular guides in Tokyo area soon! So don't take long and book him now!!

The tour was fantastic! I wouldn’t never have thought to do many of these things without a guide. We went to a Japanese garden and a temple. Hiro took me to an extra museum as well! I learned a lot about the culture, both old and new.

The places were well chosen, there was a lot of information and there is enough time to look at the places in peace and ask questions.

We discovered very typical and local places that are impossible to fine if you are not a local. Hiroyuki is very friendly and will explain you everything in details. We strongly recommend the tour if you are a foreigner coming to Tokyo ☺️

It was very interesting and educational. The garden was very beautiful and scenic especially with the mini Mt.Fuji, but I especially enjoyed the fire ritual!

I had wonderful and fullfilling time on Hiro’s tour. It was a great way to experience local Japanese life． HIRO always made the guests his top priority, which made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Walking along the Sumida River on a sunny day was refreshing, and seeing locals jogging or walking gave me a real sense of daily life in Japan. HIRO also guided us through Kiyosumi Garden and Fukagawa Fudō Temple—both rich in history and closely tied to local life. His explanations about culture and history were insightful and made the experience even more meaningful． I also learned that HIRO studied architecture, which added depth to his commentary on buildings
