Hi guys! I’m Yuki.I’ve been running walking tours for over a year now. I studied education at Meiji University and have a junior high school social studies teaching license. I also worked in Vancouver, Canada for about a year and a half. If you just walk around here, it’s honestly hard to know what you’re looking at. I’ll break down who the Emperor is, why this place matters, and how Japanese people see the Emperor today. We’ll take a walk through the Imperial Palace area, which used to be Edo Castle. I’ll share easy stories about samurai life, castle defenses, and things like watchtowers and moats. We’ll also visit some popular Japanese gardens. They’re great for photos, and there’s a small model of the old castle that helps you picture what this place looked like back in the day. I recently launched this tour, so there aren’t many reviews yet—that’s why I’ve kept the price a bit lower. But don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of guiding experience, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the tour!

This small-group walking tour explores everyday life in Shibamata, a neighborhood where Japan’s retro atmosphere continues as part of daily living rather than nostalgia. Instead of treating “retro” as a preserved past, the tour presents it as a lifestyle still practiced today.

These places reveal a slower rhythm of life that has largely disappeared from central Tokyo. The route is carefully designed and enjoyed at a relaxed pace. Along the temple approach, there is time for optional light food sampling, such as traditional sweets. The experience concludes at one of Japan’s top-class Japanese gardens, where stillness, balance, and thoughtful use of space express Showa-era aesthetics. This tour focuses on understanding how daily life, belief, and aesthetics continue to shape a living temple town.
