Yoyogi 1st National Gymnasium-turer

Vi var en gruppe på 15 personer. Jeg syntes dette var litt i meste laget, siden ikke alle får med seg alt som blir sagt mellom informasjonsstoppene, og ikke alle har samme gangtempo. Guiden vår, Giulia, gjorde imidlertid en fantastisk jobb. Hun snakket høyt nok til at alle hørte henne, og ventet tålmodig til alle hadde samlet seg. Det var tydelig at hun hadde svært god kunnskap om Edo-perioden, palassområdet, shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu og keiser Meiji. Palassområdet er storslått, men jeg vil tro det er litt krevende å bevege seg der for personer med nedsatt funksjonsevne. Vær oppmerksom på at det er noen bratte stigninger innenfor murene. Jeg syntes spesielt sjekkpostene, ruinene av Edo-slottet og den japanske hagen (som vi kunne utforske på egen hånd etter omvisningen) var imponerende. Giulia hadde en fantastisk evne til å få meg til å føle meg involvert og gjøre det mulig å forestille seg hvordan det var å ankomme palassområdet i Edo-perioden. Hvis du ønsker mer informasjon om det keiserlige palass eller tidens herskere, anbefaler jeg absolutt å ta denne omvisningen!

Hadde det kjempegøy! De ga oss et gratis glass sake og litt gratis te/mochi på slutten. Personalet var vennlig og underholderne gjorde en fantastisk jobb. Vi anbefaler absolutt!

Joe, vår turguide, var så kunnskapsrik og veldig vennlig. Jeg anbefaler en tur med Joe som en flott start for turister som besøker Japan for første gang. Joe gjorde alt enkelt, noe som gjorde markedsopplevelsen vår morsom. Ingen stress. Takk, Joe!

Yoda was very friendly and full of fantastic information to add to our experience. He showed us many great places to eat and we explored all the main sights of Shinjuku. I highly recommend this tour with Yoda!

This was our first trip to Japan, and we wanted to do something special on our very first day in Tokyo. This tour was the perfect choice, and our guide, Hiro, was absolutely wonderful! He met us right at the designated meeting spot and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Imperial Palace. He made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour and was always happy to allow time for breaks and rest stops when needed. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, and we especially enjoyed getting to see some of the original historic buildings. It was a wonderful way to start our trip and learn more about Japan’s history and culture. If you’re visiting Tokyo, we highly recommend this tour. And if you’re lucky enough to have Hiro as your guide, you’re in for an extra-special experience!

we had a group of 7 people, were felt like the perfect amount of people. I was solo on this tour, but never felt left out. Part because of the other nice people taking the tour, but also because of our lovely guide Manny. Manny told us about Harajuku before we headed to the Meji Jinku shrine grounds. Manny was very knowledgeable about the shinto religion, customs and rituals. The history and customs were presented in a fun and informative way. Overal, the tour felt very in line with the connections and knowledge emperor Meji is known for. Definitely take the tour if you are thinking about it. The grounds are very impressive. We were lucky to be here on a beautifully sunny day, which meant we were able to witness a few weddings happen on the shrine grounds as well as live Gagaku in the centre of the shrine grounds. I am very glad I decided to take this tour. Thank you fellow travelers and our guide Many for the beautiful experience.

Midori was an amazing guide! 5/5 stars and is a definite must for anyone visiting Tokyo. One of my favourite experiences so far. She was very informative and made the experience very enjoyable. It was great to meet a real life Geisha and learn all about her life and see traditional dances and play traditional games. Midori also took photos for us so we didn’t have to worry about that and could enjoy the whole experience in real time!

Flott halvdagstur for katteelskere. Guiden vår Momo var fantastisk og veldig hyggelig. Det er mye informasjon om katter i Japan. Kattekafeen er veldig koselig og fin, og kattene er bare supertinete. Katttempelet er også supert, og i de små butikkene i nærheten finnes det mange fine ting med katter.

Honestly this tour was great! We went to the 10am tour, I would go earlier if you can to the 8am tour before it gets super congested. lots of food portion wise, so go hungry
