(Feel free to choose a few places from the list - in order of recommendation -. About 2–3 for a 4-hour tour, 3–4 for 6 hours, and 4–5 for 8 hours.)
We will visit the historic area of Kagurazaka, which was developed by SHOGUN 400 years ago and remains one of Tokyo's six Geisha districts.
Thanks to the nearby Institut Francais, the area has a unique atmosphere that blends good old Japan and France.
The bustling shopping streets remain, providing a great opportunity to see the lives of ordinary Japanese people up close and enjoy shopping like one of the locals.

Meiji Jingu Shrine
Meiji Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. When the Tokugawa Shogunate returned power back to the Emperor and the Meiji era began, Japan made great strides in catching up with other developed countries. The education system was established, railways became widespread, and Westernized dining attire became popular. Emperor Meiji, who encouraged these developments, was loved by the people, and after his death, Meiji Shrine was built as a place to commemorate him.
Now, 100 years later, this place has become a magnificent forest that is hard to believe is in Tokyo, and its sacred atmosphere makes it a refreshing place.

Takeshita Street
Visit a mecca that every Japanese teenager dreams of visiting at least once. In the 1970s, the Takenoko-zoku, a group of people who dressed in eccentric costumes and began dancing on pedestrian streets, captivated Japanese teens.
Even today, Takeshita Street is the epicenter of Youngster culture, with both sides of the 350m road packed with everything teens love. In addition to sweets like crepes and strawberry candy, you can also enjoy snacks and drinks.
There are not only shops with eccentric costumes but also many second-hand clothing stores. You will feel the passion of Japanese young.

Senso-ji Temple
Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. Kaminarimon Gate, famous for its large red lantern, is an excellent photo spot. Nakamise, following the Gate, is a shopping street lined with souvenir shops and delicious street foods. It looks like an exposition of Japanese culture. You can sample some Japanese sweets/snacks or get good souvenirs.
Sensoji Temple is full of Japanese culture. Experience the unique Japanese omikuji (fortune teller), purification, and many more. You can also learn about the differences between temples and shrines.

Uenokoen
Visit Ueno Park, the site of Kan'ei-ji Temple, which was under the protection of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo era. There is Ueno Toshogu Shrine, where the first Tokugawa SHOGUN, Ieyasu, is enshrined. From its beautiful sculptures and gold-plated shrine buildings, you will see the SHOGUN's power.
This place was the site of a civil war when the SHOGUN gave the power back to the Meiji Emperor, making it an important place in Japanese history.
You can also enjoy cherry blossom viewing during the cherry blossom season.

The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace (Edo Castle Ruin)
Visit the ruins of Edo Castle where the gigantic stone walls and beautiful watch towers still exist. Learn about the strategies of the Tokugawa Shogunate that led to the Edo era lasting for 265 years, and reflect on the life of the SHOGUNs.
In the Japanese garden, recreated after gardens from the Edo period, you can enjoy seasonal flowers and special variety of carps.

Tsukiji Jogai Market
Tsukiji was the world's largest fish market until 2018. Although the Inner Market, including the famous Tuna auction, has moved to Toyosu, there are still 400 retail stores here selling not only fresh fish but also vegetables, fruits, sweets, kitchen utensils, etc.
With the help of a knowledgeable guide, you can taste the unique products, communicate with the shopkeepers, and buy special souvenirs.
