Yoyogi 1st National Gymnasium චාරිකා

We had a group of 15 people. I thought this was a little much as not everyone can easily hear the banter in between the information spots and not everyone has the same walking pace. Our guide Giulia did amazing though. She spoke loud enough for everyone to hear and patiently waited for everyone to gather around. It was clear she was very knowledgeable on the edo period, the palace grounds, shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and emperor Meji. The palace grounds are grand, but I think not as easy to manoeuvre for someone less able bodied. Be wary that you will have some steep inclines inside the walls. I particularly found the checkpoints, the edo castle ruins and the Japanese garden (which we could explore ourself after the tour) impressive. Giulia had a beautiful way of making me feel immersed and able to imagine what it would be like to enter the palace in the edo period. If you'd like more information about the imperial palace or the rulers of the time, I recommend taking the tour yourself!

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!

හොඳම වෙලාව තිබුණා! ඔවුන් අපට නොමිලේ සාකේ ෂොට් එකක් සහ අවසානයේ නොමිලේ තේ/මෝචි ලබා දුන්නා. කාර්ය මණ්ඩලය මිත්‍රශීලී වූ අතර විනෝදාස්වාදය ලබා දුන් අය පුදුමාකාර කාර්යයක් කළා. අපි අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම නිර්දේශ කරනවා!

අපගේ සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශක ජෝ ඉතා දැනුමැති සහ ඉතා මිත්‍රශීලී විය. ජපානයට පළමු වරට පැමිණෙන සංචාරකයින්ට ජෝ සමඟ සංචාරයක් විශිෂ්ට ආරම්භයක් බව මම නිර්දේශ කරමි. ජෝ සියල්ල පහසු කළ අතර, එය අපගේ වෙළඳපල අත්දැකීම විනෝදජනක කළේය. කිසිදු ආතතියක් නොතිබුණි. ජෝට ස්තූතියි!

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.

මිඩෝරි ඉතා අපූරු මාර්ගෝපදේශිකාවකි! තරු 5/5 ක් හිමි වන අතර ටෝකියෝ වෙත පැමිණෙන ඕනෑම අයෙකු අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම අත්විඳිය යුතුම අත්දැකීමකි. මගේ මෙතෙක් ලැබුණු ප්‍රියතම අත්දැකීම් වලින් එකකි. ඇය ඉතා දැනුම්වත් වූ අතර අත්දැකීම ඉතා ප්‍රීතිමත් කළාය. සැබෑ ගීෂා කෙනෙකු මුණගැසීමට ලැබීම, ඇයගේ ජීවිතය ගැන සියල්ල ඉගෙන ගැනීමට ලැබීම, සාම්ප්‍රදායික නැටුම් නැරඹීමට සහ සාම්ප්‍රදායික ක්‍රීඩා කිරීමට ලැබීම ඉතා අනර්ඝ විය. අපට ඒ ගැන කරදර නොවී සැබෑ කාලය තුළ සම්පූර්ණ අත්දැකීම විඳීමට හැකි වන පරිදි මිඩෝරි අප වෙනුවෙන් ඡායාරූප ද ලබා ගත්තාය!

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

Amazing Shibuya tour with Hiyori & Maya! We had a wonderful time on this Shibuya walking tour from start to finish. Hiyori and Maya were both friendly, professional, and made us feel completely comfortable. They shared the history behind Hachiko and the area's popular streets and restaurants, and showed us some real hidden gems, including a building with a free view over the Shibuya Crossing. No admission fee needed! If you're in Shibuya and not sure what to do, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Hiyori and Maya!
