Reviews
Good experience, I had a private tour because I was the only one to book the slot. The guide was patient and very interesting.
to be honest i expected to find a castle to visit , but there was nothing because there’s only a big and beautiful park . I think you can go by yourself . no need for guide itinerary: no worthy
thank you Yuki for a very detailed and fascinating history of 皇居。our family have a very enjoyable time here.
Our guide Toshi was kind and thorough; the tour was truly interesting, and she shared many important insights about this magical place.
