Prehliadky Yoyogi 1st National Gymnasium

Mali sme skupinu 15 ľudí. Myslel som si, že je to trochu priveľa, pretože nie každý dobre počuje žarty medzi informačnými bodmi a nie každý má rovnaké tempo chôdze. Naša sprievodkyňa Giulia však odviedla skvelú prácu. Hovorila dostatočne nahlas, aby ju všetci počuli, a trpezlivo čakala, kým sa všetci zhromaždia. Bolo jasné, že má veľké znalosti o období Edo, areáli paláca, šogúnovi Tokugawa Ieyasu a cisárovi Meidžim. Areál paláca je veľkolepý, ale myslím si, že nie je taký ľahko dostupný pre ľudí s obmedzenou schopnosťou pohybu. Dajte si pozor, vnútri hradieb vás čaká niekoľko strmých stúpaní. Mne osobitne pripadali pôsobivé kontrolné stanoviská, zrúcaniny hradu Edo a japonská záhrada (ktorú sme si mohli preskúmať sami po skončení prehliadky). Giulia mala nádherný spôsob, ako vo mne vyvolať pocit ponorenia sa do dejiaschopnosť predstaviť si, aké by to bolo vstúpiť do paláca v období Edo. Ak by ste chceli viac informácií o cisárskom paláci alebotedajších vládcoch, odporúčam absolvovať túto prehliadku na vlastní koži!

Strávili sme tu skvelý čas! Na konci nám dali zadarmo panáka saké a nejaký čaj/mochi. Personál bol priateľský a zabávači odviedli úžasnú prácu. Určite odporúčame!

Náš sprievodca Joe bol veľmi vzdelaný a priateľský. Odporúčam prehliadku s Joeom ako skvelý začiatok pre turistov, ktorí navštívia Japonsko prvýkrát. Joe všetko zjednodušil, vďaka čomu bol náš zážitok z trhu zábavný. Žiadny stres. Vďaka, 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!

It was our first full day in Japan, and we are very grateful to our guide Frankie for leading us on an informative tour of the Meiji Jingu shrine. We learned so much that we would have never discovered otherwise - the history of Shinto shrines, the history of *that* shrine, how important they are to this day, and so much more. It was a great investment of time and so worth it.

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!

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
