Overview

Nikko and Kawagoe is the two faces of EDO, seeing both lets you see both the samurai and commoner lifestyle of the people in Edo. We will visit the Imperial Palace from outside to understand both the Samurai and Imperial family outlook of the location. We will visit Nikko not only as a world heritage but as a location built to protect the city of EDO by blocking the KIMON (Demon Gate) of EDO hence learn the importance of “direction” (HOI) to understand the religious aspect of the Japanese; the importance in “location” of both Kawagoe and Nikko, the impact it had on the Japanese people and the heritage of the Tokugawa dynasty. The Kawagoe area known as “KOEDO” (small Edo) is a Edo cultural melting pot where you will see the lifestyle of Edo merchants. This tour will try to fit in three major locations associated with EDO for the time crunched traveler. If you want to see more in your limited time try us.
