Itinerario
Nato nel clan Satsuma, noto a tutti i giapponesi, fu il generale dell'esercito governativo (Forza di spedizione orientale) e successivamente il primo generale dell'esercito come leader originale della Restaurazione. Partecipò anche alla guerra di Ueno come comandante di Ueno Hirokoji e Kuromonkuchi. Sconfitto nel 1873 nella guerra per conquistare la Corea, si dimise dal suo incarico governativo e tornò a Kagoshima, dove lui e i suoi studenti delle scuole private si ribellarono al governo Meiji nel 1877 (guerra di Seinan) e attaccarono il castello di Kumamoto, ma non furono in grado di prenderlo, morendo a Kagoshima lo stesso anno. Divenne un bandito da una figura di spicco della Restaurazione Meiji, ma fu perdonato e riportato al potere con la promulgazione della Costituzione imperiale nel 1889.
Kiyomizu Kannon-do, incastonato nel parco di Ueno, è un tempio sereno con una ricca storia che risale al periodo Edo. Ispirato al famoso Kiyomizu-dera di Kyoto, il tempio è noto per il suo palco in legno che offre una vista pittoresca di Ueno e dei ciliegi in fiore circostanti in primavera. Il tempio è dedicato a Kosodate Kannon, una divinità venerata per aver benedetto le donne con bambini e un parto sicuro. I visitatori possono sperimentare un'atmosfera tranquilla mentre esplorano la splendida architettura del tempio e i giardini circostanti. Kiyomizu Kannon-do è una gemma nascosta che offre una fuga pacifica nel cuore di Tokyo.
Toshogu è un santuario dedicato a Tokugawa Ieyasu come divinità ‘Tosho Daigongen’. Dopo la morte di Ieyasu nel 1616, fu divinizzato e 'Tosho-sha' e successivamente 'Tosho-gu' furono creati in vari luoghi. Altri santuari famosi sono Kunozan Toshogu sul monte Kunozan nella prefettura di Shizuoka e Nikko Toshogu a Nikko, nella prefettura di Tochigi. Ueno Toshogu fu costruito nel 1627 da Takatora Todo (feudatario di Mie e Tsu), che aveva grande rispetto per Ieyasu Tokugawa e progettò anche il castello di Edo. Tuttavia, nel 1651, il santuario fu ampiamente ricostruito dal terzo shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu.
Il Museo Nazionale di Tokyo, il più antico e prestigioso museo del Giappone, offre un'affascinante introduzione alla storia e alla cultura del paese. Durante la tua visita, la tua Guida ti accompagnerà attraverso il museo e fornirà spiegazioni generali sui periodi storici del Giappone, le tradizioni artistiche e le mostre selezionate. La Guida non è un curatore museale o un docente museale certificato, e le spiegazioni sono intese come una panoramica piuttosto che un'approfondita interpretazione accademica della collezione. I visitatori possono ammirare una vasta gamma di manufatti, tra cui armature da samurai, sculture buddiste, kimono e stampe ukiyo-e, mentre acquisiscono una comprensione più ampia della cultura e della storia Giapponese.

Mari was very knowledgeable. She met us promptly and began the tour on Ueno Park. We visited shrines and temples and she was good to explain the customs of washing hands, bowing and whatever ch diety signifies what.
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Mari's tour!
We have taken many guided tours around the world, including probably more than 15 guided tours in Japan in just two weeks while we were traveling with my 26-year-old son, and unfortunately this was one of the few that was disappointing and felt like a waste of money. Our guide, Mikio, was a very nice person and pleasant to spend time with, and I was trying to be patient throughout the tour. However, the explanations from the guide were minimal. Inside the museum, we were mostly walking around by ourselves and reading the exhibits on our own, while Mikio walked with us more like another visitor rather than providing detailed insight into the artwork and history. We also visited only a few spots in the garden, but there was minimal explanation and it was not very exciting. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this tour unless you are assigned a different guide. In our opinion, visiting the museum independently would provide a very similar experience without the added cost of a private guide.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We genuinely regret that our Ueno Park & Tokyo National Museum Private Tour did not meet your expectations, especially given your extensive travel experience throughout Japan. We take all reviews seriously and have thoroughly reviewed the details of your tour, including the report from your guide, Mikio. Regarding your request for a full refund, we would like to respectfully share our perspective: Full Completion of Service: This 2.5-hour tour was fully conducted from start to finish without any interruption or on-site complaints. As the entire itinerary and guiding services were successfully delivered, a full refund is not applicable under our policy. General Interest vs. Academic Tour: This experience is designed as an introductory, general-interest cultural tour led by local guides, rather than an academic lecture by a university professor or museum curator. Mikio provided standard, reliable background insights suited for a general audience. Interactive Nature of Private Tours: Private tours thrive on real-time interaction. Our guides are always eager to customize the depth of information based on guests' questions and requests during the tour. As there was minimal feedback on-site, the guide proceeded with the standard pace. While we stand by the fact that the service was fully and properly delivered, we sincerely value your time and feedback. As a gesture of goodwill, we have offered you a 30% partial refund through Viator. We continuously strive to improve our services and appreciate your insights. We wish you and your son all the best in your future travels. Sincerely,
This tour was very insightful and fun. Akiyoshi was a personable and pleasant guide!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Akiyoshi's tour!
Our tour guide Akiyoshi was very kind, patient, and informative. Awesome experience!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Akiyoshi's tour!
This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken because my guide, Akiyoshi, was such an outstanding tour guide. Akiyoshi was incredibly organized, and he provided a lot of information about the displays at the Tokyo National Museum. He showed me photos, and charts with easy to understand historical time periods and events. Those, along with stories and explanations he told, allowed me to understand Japan’s history and how the items on display fit into that history. In addition, he was a world-class guy-very smart, funny, kind and helpful. Akiyoshi went above and beyond in many ways. Thanks to him, I finished the tour with a very clear understanding about Japan’s history. Finally, I am also rating the tour company Gotcha, A+++. There was a delay on my side, due to a taxi driver taking me to the wrong address (he spoke no English, nor did I speak any Japanese); not only was Gotcha astonishingly accommodating, but the Gotcha agent spoke to the cabbie to help him get me to the meeting location (which Gotcha changed to accommodate the cabbie’s mistake). Viator offers many different tour options, but if you sign up with Gotcha, and if you’re lucky enough to get Akiyoshi as your guide, you will enjoy a premiere experience.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Akiyoshi's tour!
