Overview of your Tokyo tour:

This tour takes you to two Tokyo's major historical highlights. Both are famous landmarks, yet both are filled with serenity. Enjoy a historical and cultural experience in this oasis left in the heart of Tokyo. The Imperial Palace is the highlight of Tokyo sightseeing. Many group sightseeing tours do not spend much time at the Imperial Palace because you cannot go inside the Palace. But there is one place where you can enter. That is the East Gardens attached to the Imperial Palace. It's a special place that the Imperial Family opened to the public. The East Gardens also offer an opportunity to learn about the history of the Edo period, from 400 to 150 years ago. In addition to the ruins of Edo Castle, the East Gardens have a beautiful Japanese landscape garden and seasonal flowers. Meiji Shrine is undoubtedly the most beloved shrine of the Japanese people. As you stroll through the deep forest of the shrine, you will experience its history and discover the secret of why this place is so dear to us all.
