Highlights

Even if you don’t know the name Katsushika Hokusai, you have probably seen his famous masterpiece The Great Wave off Kanagawa. While I am not an art historian, I deeply admire Katsushika Hokusai. I would love to share the Sumida area where he spent much of his life and explore the places connected to his story together. On this tour, you will also learn about the Edo period when Hokusai lived and Japanese sumo culture, Japan’s national sport.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
