Tokyo as it is

What to expect

• Shibuya Crossing. We will pass by the legendary Hachiko monument - a Japanese symbol of loyalty and friendship. We will stand at the world-famous intersection of seven roads, where more than 2500 people pass in 2 minutes. You will also have the opportunity to try Japanese delicacies sold only in this area.
• Meiji Jingu Shrine in Yoyogi Park - the most significant Shinto shrine in Tokyo. I will introduce you to Japanese shrine architecture and tell you about the emperor after whom the shrine is named. You will hear about the most dramatic events in Japan's history.
• Kappabashi-dori Avenue, which is Tokyo's Mecca for everything related to cuisine. We will discuss Japanese eating habits and the secrets of their longevity.
• Asakusa Buddhist temple complex. You will pass through the Thunder Gate, explore the architecture of the oldest Tokyo temple Sensō-ji, and hear the legend of its foundation. I will talk about the times when Tokyo was known as Edo, describe the social class system in ancient Japan, and the differences in their ways of life.
• Nakamise-dori Shopping Street. Just like centuries ago, here you can buy traditional Japanese souvenirs and sweets. For lunch, we will stop at one of the restaurants in the Shin Nakamise-dori passage.
• Akihabara District - the electronic heart of the city. After World War II, it was a major trading center and at the same time a black market for electronics. I will explain the differences between today's Akihabara and the post-war period, and show its most interesting locations.
