Itinerary

  • Imperial Palace

    Admire the view at this National Garden that was formerly a private garden of the Royal Family. Enjoy the view of Nijubashi Bridge, which is said to be the face of the Imperial Palace, as well as the view of the Imperial Palace itself.

    40 minutes

  • National Diet Building (Pass By)

    This is the center of the Japanese Government. Don't let the impressive Western-style architecture fool you--this building is constructed almost entirely out of pure Japanese materials.

  • Tokyo Tower

    Tokyo Tower, the symbol of Tokyo, offers a great 360-degree panoramic view from its main observatory.

    40 minutes

  • Senso-ji Temple

    Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, offers plenty to see including the bright red Kaminarimon Gate, a statue of the god of thunder, and a five-story pagoda. The bustling street known as "Nakamise" stretches for about 250 m from Kaminarimon Gate to Senso-ji Temple and is filled with a plethora of shops.

    1 hour

  • Kabukiza Theater (Pass By)

    A classic Japanese-style theater where traditional Kabuki performances are held.

Highly recommended

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour, a must try experience when in tokyo. Our tour guide Ms. Kuniku is very informative. A well organized tour.

Wonderful tour & guide

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a wonderful tour of key Tokyo sights. Our guide (Atsushi) spoke very good English, explained the history of Japan, and of each sight along the way, was super cordial, and added a great sense of humor.

Aki-san is the best!

Published on Oct, 2024

Aki-san was a fantastic guide. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. We had initially not planned to do any tours, so we could feel less like tourists. But we don't regret taking this tour at all! Mori-san was truly the best driver, and there wasn't a moment on our trip that Aki-san didn't keep us informed or entertained. Who knew that backing up the bus could be entertainment! She went above and beyond as our tour guide, and we even got a great picture with her! 10/10, we will recommend her as a tour guide to anyone we know. If we do go back to Tokyo, we might just have to request her as a guide again!

Excellent tour with Aisushi

Published on Oct, 2024

Atsushi is an excellent, fun tour guide. He is informative and entertaining! We loved the tour and would use Hato again..

Fantastic tour with Aki

Published on Sep, 2024

We highly recommend this tour. It was very well organized and stress free. Our guide, Aki, was wonderful and made the experience a very special one. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was the key to our experience. The sites we visited were fantastic as well but they were made more so by Aki. Thank you for a wonderful time.
