Overview of your Tokyo tour:

Tokyo is an international city and the political, economic and cultural center of Japan where tradition and innovation coexist and co-prosper. Conde Nast Traveler, an American travel magazine, describes the attractions of Tokyo as follows in October, 2020: "A regular on our best cities list, Tokyo continues to thrill with its contradictions: ultra-modern, neon skyscrapers and tranquil temples, unmatchable street style and centuries-old etiquette. " As an experienced tour guide being with ToursByLocals for a decade conducting hundreds of private tours, I am happy to show you around this highly diverse Tokyo in an easy to understand way. Selected for Tokyo's tradition are Imperial Palace/Edo Castle(Palace uses the site of old Castle) where 5 emperors have lived since 1868 and 15 Tokugawa Shoguns lived from 1603 through 1867, Meiji Shinto Shrine, and Asakusa Buddhist Temple built in 628. Selected as the spots for Tokyo's innovation are Harajuku/Omote-sando fashion district, Shibuya Scramble Square and Ginza.
