1-Day Low City Tokyo City Tour

Edo, today's Tokyo, can easily be divided into the high city and the low city. The first is the city that the warrior, samurai, class built, and the the latter is the city that the townsmen built. It is also features the kimon, or evil gate direction which still today has the responsibility to protect the city. Out tour begins in the shitamachi area of Nezu and ends in Asakusa. Inbetween, we discover the sights that the common residents of Edo loved to visit. We visit historic sites like the Tnno-ji large Buddha, as well as modern hectic areas like Okachimachi, the former home of the Kachi who cleared the road in front of Edo-period processions of the samurai. It is also the site of the largest black market in Tokyo and which is today a large market. We end in the attic of modern Tokyo, Asakusa and the active area surrounding the temple.
