皇居、明治神宮＆将軍寺特別アクセスツアー

Our guide was amazing! She took us across the city to see these shrines. Taught us how to navigate subway systems and gave us recommendations on where to shop and eat. We were lucky enough that only my friend and I were her only clients for the day. So it was like a private tour. Would completely book with her again. It was a great value and she was extremely knowledgeable about the local history.

I loved it, it was very informative

It was one of the most memorable tours on this trip! It was also really nice that it was a tour where we could enter from 9 o'clock, allowing us to look around at a relaxed pace. It was a very special experience in itself to be able to see the Tokugawa family cemetery, which is usually difficult to enter. Above all, because the guide was a local, they explained everything in great detail and with great care, from the historical background to the meaning of each place. If I had visited alone, I would have just seen it and passed by, but seeing it while listening to the explanations made it feel completely different, and I learned so many new things. For me, as a Korean, what was most impressive was not just encountering Japanese history through books or videos, but being able to go to the actual sites where history remains and seeing it with my own eyes. I felt amazed, thinking, 'This is truly the place that appeared in history,' and it was a meaningful experience beyond simple tourism. As Korea and Japan have deep historical ties, it was even more interesting for me as a Korean to be able to see Japanese history firsthand in the field and hear explanations from a local guide. What I knew before came alive much more vividly when I encountered it at the actual location. The guide was very kind and explained things very thoroughly, so I could participate happily from beginning to end. This is a tour I highly recommend for those who want to directly experience the history and culture of a country, rather than just visiting famous tourist spots. It was also nice that we could tour the special space starting from 9 AM, and above all, I was very satisfied that I could understand Japanese history more deeply by meeting a good guide. Thank you so much for creating a precious experience that I will remember for a long time! 😊

We had such a great time with our guide, Mayuka! She was incredibly friendly and kind, and shared not only interesting history but also stories about everyday life in Japan, which made the tour feel much more personal. The evening Buddhist ceremony was truly special and definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Toko was such an energetic and friendly guide! This didn’t feel like an ordinary tour—it felt more like exploring Tokyo with a local friend. She shared fascinating stories about Japanese culture and everyday life, including things we never would have discovered on our own. The tour was relaxed and never rushed, so we had plenty of time to enjoy each location. The highlight was being able to join a special evening Buddhist service, which made the experience feel even more unique and memorable. Toko is also an amazing photographer! She took so many great photos of us that now we can’t decide which ones to post on Instagram! 😂 Thank you, Toko, for such a fun and special experience!

We joined the 2:00 PM tour, which lasted around three hours and took us to Meiji Jingu, the Imperial Palace, and Zojoji Temple. The Imperial Palace was high on our list, but we knew we would miss so much of its meaning and history on our own, so we decided to book this tour. Everything was well organized and never felt rushed. Toko was incredibly knowledgeable, but it didn’t feel like a typical scripted tour—it felt more like exploring Tokyo with a friendly local. She shared stories we never would have discovered by ourselves and explained the connections between Shinto, Buddhism, and the Japanese way of thinking in a clear and engaging way. We especially enjoyed hearing about her family’s personal connection to Zojoji Temple and seeing the videos she shared. At the end, we were able to join a special Buddhist service for about 15 minutes. Instead of simply looking at each landmark, we felt like we truly experienced it. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Thank you, Toko!
