Things to do in Ueno Park

this was a wonderful and very educational trip. I recommend this trip for everyone

super worth the visit especially with kids, very nice restaurant in the museum and kids friendly, easy to use the tickets and the best part is the admission for Kids is free just need get the adult tickets.

We had Haruhiko “Sunny” Tamura as our guide, and he was wonderful! This tour was the perfect mix of cultural learning, sightseeing, shopping, and eating. Sunny did a great job explaining the meaning and stories behind the places we visited. He even brought illustrations to explain customs like how to properly clean our hands and bow, which made learning about Japanese traditions fun and memorable. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and down to earth. His English was excellent, and we had no problem understanding him or asking questions. He gave us great shopping tips, helped us pick out a few shops he thought we would enjoy, and gave us excellent recommendations for lunch. It felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable local than following a typical tour. We learned a lot and had a great time. I would absolutely recommend Sunny and would definitely book with him again!

We traveled all over Tokyo in one day, arriving at each entertainment area on time, making both adults and children happy. Mr. Ohara was very attentive and punctual, and after discussion, unsuitable areas were excluded. It was a pleasant trip with wonderful memories.

The Tokyo National Museum was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. The collections were fascinating, and it was incredible to see so many important pieces of Japanese history and culture in one place. The museum is much larger than I expected, and I would recommend setting aside at least five hours if you want to explore everything properly. There is so much to see, and every section offers something interesting and unique. One of my favorite parts was the beautiful garden area with traditional Japanese buildings. There was also a charming traditional café where we could relax with a coffee and cake while enjoying the surroundings. Being able to look inside some of the historic buildings made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend booking tickets in advance. There was a very long queue for visitors who had not pre-booked, and having tickets ready saved us a lot of time.

Brendan was really great! I saw his tour yesterday, and I’m at the Edo-Tokyo Museum today and so much makes more sense after having done his tour of the Imperial Palace. The explanations in the museum are a bit dry and dense with facts, and I don’t have a lot of connection to annecdotes which help me remember what happened and why. Brendan’s tour really helped fill in some of that for me, and provided me a much better context. I’d recommend to anyone — do his tour first, before the museum, for greater understanding!
