    Tokyo Station Marunouchi Ekimae Hiroba

    Step beyond the busy platforms and discover the dramatic history of Tokyo Station, a symbol of Japan's modernization. In this tour, we will explore the magnificent Marunouchi Red Brick Building, originally built in 1914. You won't just see the architecture; you will learn the incredible story of its destruction during World War II and the painstaking 100-year journey to restore it to its original glory. Your guide will take you beneath the stunning dome ceilings to decode the secret zodiac reliefs and reveal why this station is considered a living museum.

    Tsukiji Hongan-ji Temple

    At first glance, you might mistake this building for an ancient Indian palace, but step inside, and you will find a traditional Japanese Buddhist temple. This tour explores the fascinating architectural fusion of Tsukiji Hongwanji. Designed by the eccentricity genius Chuta Ito in 1934, this temple breaks all the rules. We will guide you through its unique features, from the Ancient Indian exterior to the surprising presence of stained glass and a pipe organ in the main hall. Join us to discover why this temple looks unlike any other in Japan and how it symbolizes a new era of Buddhism.

    Tsukiji Jogai Market

    Welcome to the 'Kitchen of Japan'! Even after the wholesale market moved to Toyosu, the Tsukiji Outer Market remains the best place in Tokyo for street food lovers. In this tour, we will dive into the narrow, bustling alleys to taste the freshest flavors. We will stop by famous stalls to try the iconic 'Tamagoyaki' (Japanese rolled omelet) cooked right in front of you, enjoy fresh oysters, and perhaps sample some Wagyu beef skewers. Your guide will show you not just the expensive restaurants, but the hidden local spots where you can taste the real ingredients of Japanese cuisine.
