Description
Daytime or nighttime walking tour (recommended) with a Spanish-speaking guide through the traditional heart of Tokyo. Focused on Japanese history, mythology, legend, and folklore.
I'm Yennifer, a tour guide and psychologist specializing in Japanese culture. Let's dive into the heart of the world's most populous metropolis and explore the most iconic corners of its cultural identity, mythology, and history.
⛩️We'll start by observing and walking around Ueno Station, the northern gateway and migration point, to enter the traditional atmosphere of the cultural park that houses the oldest museum in all of Japan. There, we'll find the company of the last samurai honored in the center of this territory, as well as the vestiges of the battle that initiated Japan's opening to the world.
We'll then immerse ourselves in Japanese mythology, legend, and folklore in the area of the ponds and lotus flowers. Yes, all that in a sector surrounded by that intriguing nature and traditional beauty.
Finally, we'll end up walking to one of the memorial spaces, the Yanaka Cemetery Park and its most important and beautiful intact streets in Tokyo, with the company of everything that was re-signified to appreciate the memories of a Tokyo and Japan clouded by the changing seasons.
