It was built in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family. Like its namesake in Okayama, the garden was named Korakuen after a poem encouraging a ruler to enjoy pleasure only after achieving happiness for his people. Koishikawa is the district in which the garden is located in.

  • Hama Rikyu Gardens

    Hama Rikyu (ęµœé›¢å®®, Hama RikyÅ«), is a large, attractive landscape garden in central Tokyo.

    5 minutes

  • Akihabara

    Akihabara (ē§‹č‘‰åŽŸ), also called Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo that is famous for its many electronics shops. In more recent years, Akihabara has gained recognition as the center of Japan's otaku (diehard fan) culture, and many shops and establishments devoted to anime and manga are now dispersed among the electronic stores in the district. On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March).

    5 minutes

    Rikugien (六ē¾©åœ’) is often considered Tokyo's most beautiful Japanese landscape garden alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien literally means "six poems garden" and reproduces in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden is a good example of an Edo Period strolling garden and features a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.

    30 minutes

  • Yoyogi Park

    Yoyogi Park (ä»£ć€…ęœØ公園, Yoyogi Kōen) is one of Tokyo's largest city parks, featuring wide lawns, ponds and forested areas. It is a great place for jogging, picnicking and other outdoor activities. Although Yoyogi Park has relatively few cherry trees compared to other sites in Tokyo, it makes for a nice cherry blossom viewing spot in spring. Furthermore, it is known for its ginko tree forest, which turns intensely golden in autumn.

    30 minutes

  • Takeshita Street

    Harajuku (原å®æ) refers to the area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station, which is between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights. The focal point of Harajuku's teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, which are lined by many trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothes stores, crepe stands and fast food outlets geared towards the fashion and trend conscious teens.

    30 minutes

  • Roppongi Hills, Shop & Restaurant

    Roppongi Hills is one of the best examples of a city within the city. Opened in 2003 in the heart of Tokyo's Roppongi district, the building complex features offices, apartments, shops, restaurants, a hotel, art museum, observation deck and more. The office floors are home to leading companies from the IT and financial sectors, and Roppongi Hills has become a symbol of the Japanese IT industry. At the center of Roppongi Hills stands the 238 meter Mori Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the city. While most of the building is occupied by office space, the first few floors have restaurants and shops and the top few floors house an observation deck and modern art museum that are open to the public.

    15 minutes

  • Senso-ji Temple

    Sensoji (ęµ…č‰åÆŗ, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temples. The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's oldest temple.

    15 minutes

  • Shibamata

    Shibamata (ęŸ“åˆ) is a neighborhood on the eastern end of Tokyo, not far from the Edogawa River which is the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-school charm from yesteryear and is a perfect break away from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions to see is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple not far from the station.

    15 minutes

  • Nezu

    Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezuā€”two of the neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo's old downtownā€”retain their last-century charm. You'll find historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine tucked away among shitamachi's narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops and retro stores selling old-style sweets and snacks. Here you can slip back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.

    15 minutes

    15 minutes

  • Shinjuku Golden Gai

    Golden Gai is said to have started around 1950 when the black market that had arisen in front of Shinjuku Station moved and, in this new area, a number of eating and drinking establishments set up shop. Although Shinjuku has undergone considerable modernization since then, Golden Gai seems to have remained largely unchanged. The alley is narrow and cramped with countless signs advertising the various establishments that line the way. Many of the buildings themselves are made of wood, remnants hanging on from the Showa Era. Most measure only around thirteen square meters (one hundred forty-two square feet). It's a dim, boisterous place filled with the aromatic smoke of grilling meats. Yet despite the nearly endless number of slick new restaurants available in Shinjuku, this little alley continues to draw the attention of foreign tourists. Golden Gai is a popular ā€œun-touristyā€ tourist spot.

    15 minutes

  • Odaiba District

    Odaiba (ćŠå°å “) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a set of small man made fort islands (daiba literally means "fort"), which were built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against possible attacks from the sea and specifically in response to the gunboat diplomacy of Commodore Perry. More than a century later, the small islands were joined into larger islands by massive landfills, and Tokyo began a spectacular development project aimed to turn the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. But development was critically slowed after the burst of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.

    15 minutes

  • Narita International Airport

    You will return to Narita by train (Narita express or otherwise). The guide will take you to the nearest station to access this train that will send you directly to the airport.

The best use of a day for a full Tokyo experience

Published on Feb, 2024

Shuji was punctual, carried a "Welcome" sign (no chance of us missing one another at the very busy Narita airport) and was extremely helpful as a translator. He expertly guided me through the bullet train and the subway system as he showed me the wonderful landmarks I had chosen from the available sightseeing locations. Shuji even used a small flag that he carried at the very populous Buddha temple so if I lost sight of him within the crush of people the flag would lead me back! I appreciated the extra thought that was implemented in the tour for a foreigner. His food and sake recommendations were also fabulous. An extremely kind, humorous, patient and knowledgeable tour guide. I highly recommend him!

Wonderful Layover Tour of Tokyo

Published on Feb, 2024

We really enjoyed our layover tour with Yoshi! He was very knowledgeable and curated a tour based on our requests and sprinkled in some items of his own based on the various locations. It was wonderful finding a guide that would meet us at Narita airport. We got to see SO much in a limited amount of time. While we traveled between our various stops, Yoshi would share stories, facts and pictures from the neighborhoods etc that we were passing. Yoshi was cognizant of our timing as well. He even accompanied us back to the airport, helped us pick up our stored baggage, and helped us navigate the large Narita airport to get our boarding passes and find the security line. I would definitely recommend this tour and our guide, Yoshi! It was amazing!
