Description
Only 160 years ago, Tokyo was known as Edo—a city ruled by samurai under the Tokugawa Shogunate. Then everything changed. During the Meiji Restoration, Japan opened its doors to the world and transformed itself into one of the most modern nations on Earth. Join Yusuke on a live walking tour through the heart of Tokyo as we explore the places where this remarkable transformation happened. We’ll visit beautiful Western-style buildings designed by famous architects, discover how Western ideas shaped modern Japan, and see where government leaders and business pioneers built a new nation under Emperor Meiji. Along the way, you’ll learn interesting stories behind Tokyo Station, the Imperial Palace, Marunouchi, and more. This tour is perfect for anyone interested in Japanese history, architecture, culture, and the fascinating meeting of East and West.
ATTENTION:
⛈️ In case of adverse weather conditions, the walking tour will be canceled and rescheduled without notice.
