What you can expect
Join one of Tokyo’s highest rated walking tours! Together we will explore the Imperial Palace and its beautiful Eastern Gardens with our super friendly local guide :)
You won’t just hear about Japan’s history, you’ll feel it come alive through stories, humor, and moments that make this place unforgettable :)
Our guides are known for their warmth, energy, and genuine passion for sharing Tokyo’s past, that’s why our guests keep calling this tour “the highlight of their trip!”
We’ll begin at Wadakura Fountain Park with riverside views and the surrounding moats, then stroll to Ōtemon Gate and you will learn the story behind the castle gates and their role in Japan’s samurai past!
From there we’ll explore historic guardhouses and ruins, stopping at amazing photo spots that most visitors miss!
Next, we’ll walk through the beautiful Ninomaru Garden!
Its winding paths, seasonal flowers, ponds and imperial koi fish (can only be found here!) are perfect for a calm break from the city :)
Along the way our guide will bring to life how the Shogun’s world shaped modern Japan (!) and tell stories of the Edo era you won’t find on any plaque!
Our guides are the number 1 thing that makes this tour special: friendly, energetic, and full of stories and practical tips! <3
They love answering questions and will give other recommendations to deepen your stay in Tokyo, so please do not hesitate to ask :)
Whether you’re here for history, the gardens, or just want a deeper connection to Japanese culture, this tour is perfect for you!
We want everyone to feel comfortable, so please wear whatever you like, tattoos are welcome, and there is no dress code!
Our small group tours make it easy to ask questions to your guide about anything in Tokyo (doesn’t have to be tour related).
Whether you’re a couple, family, or traveling solo, we want you to leave with a real sense of the Palace’s history, gardens, and local traditions :)
We look forward to welcoming you on this tour!
All the best from Team Sunrise Adventure <3
