Tokyo Architecture and Contemporary Art Walking Tour met een lokale gids

Great We had a great tour on modern architecture in Japan with Richie on May 21st. Richie had proposed some areas to visit, and he fulfilled all of the spots on my wish list. We saw great buildings by the architects Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, and Kanzo Tange. Our tour ended in Ginza, where we could see the great design for almost all the famous fashion houses. On the way, we had a nice lunch together. Richie took us to one of his favorite ramen restaurants. Through the tour, we had an interesting discussion on Japanese and Norwegian culture as well as architecture. Richie is a really knowledgeable guide, making the tour a great experience. We will give Richie our best recommendations.

We thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Babu. We had requested this to a couple of museums and he was very flexible about this and very accommodating. He took us to see some fascinating architectural sites in Tokyo that we had would not have known to visit without his expertise. He is extremely good natured with a wonderful smile on his face, and his English was easily understandable. We would highly recommend this art and architectural tour of Tokyo. We did use taxis to get around to some degree but we’re able to see many aspects of the city.

...not suitable for people interested in art and architecture or architects. Tour should also be offered in the evening.

We saw some interesting buildings in interesting areas. Lots of cool architecture in Tokyo. A lot of time spent underground though, travelling from one site to the next.

We had an Amazing time with Fontes. We enjoyed every minute. He went out of his way to make sure we learnt something and that we could navigate around the city as well.

Fontes was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and went the extra mile shepherding us around Tokyo to see incredible architecture. A different way to look at the city. He helped us so much with learning how to get around more efficiently as well as the tour itself. Would highly recommend him

I had a great experience with Tomoya-san! It was the perfect day to see buildings. The crowd wasn't too much, and the length of the tour was just great. Tomoya-san was able to share the important things about the buildings, as well as share his own personal insights. The tour might be best for small groups if you're planning to visit many buildings. You can ask Tomoya-san to customize the tour to your needs.

We really logged the miles on this tour about 13 or 20,000 steps. We also used the local train with IC cards to move about town. We saw so many buildings and even had a chance to buy some chopsticks and eat Ramen for lunch. We were exhausted but the experience was great and Richie our guide was very knowledgable.

one of the best experiences we've ever had traveling. Tom gave us a great walk throughout the city, we met more than 30 works, in fact, we walked more than 15,000 steps, we walked everywhere and we learned and enjoyed Tokyo on foot, he recommended absolutely everything we knew about culture, about architecture, it was a great walk, totally necessary for architecture lovers, and especially those who are willing to have a great experience

This was just the right tour for my short stay in Tokyo: I explored major contemporary architectural gems of the Tokyo cityscape - you might also end up walking more than 20K steps. My tour guide, Tomoya, was very knowledgeable, polite and organized. He contacted me ahead of time and asked me what I would like to see and created an itinerary for me. We ended up exploring many sites ( e.g. Tokyo Olympic Stadium, Roppongi area, the convention center, the Tokyo Modern Art Museum, many interesting buildings in Ginza) . We used mostly public transportation but also a taxi twice. To fuel up for all that walking we stopped for lunch and had coffee breaks. Since I'm always a bit anxious navigating the Tokyo Metro System, Tomoya was so kind enough to bring me all the way to the right platform, making sure that I entered the correct metro line to go back to my hotel. Bottom line: If you are interested in another aspect of Tokyo than shrines in temples, this will be a great tour for you.
