Tokyo: Walking Tour of the Imperial Palace, Shoguns, and Garden
Join one of Tokyo's top-rated walking tours! With our warm and passionate local French-speaking guide, we'll discover the Imperial Palace and its splendid East Gardens together.
You won't just hear about Japan's history, you'll feel it 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 history. That's why our visitors often call this visit the "highlight of their trip"!
We'll start at Wadakura Fountain Park overlooking the moat and surroundings, then head to Ōtemon Gate, where you'll learn about the history of the castle gates and their role in the samurai era.
From there, we'll explore the old guardhouses and historic ruins, stopping at great photo spots that most visitors miss.
Then, we'll cross the beautiful Ninomaru Garden. Its winding paths, seasonal flowers, ponds, and imperial carp (found only here!) offer a peaceful break away from the city.
Throughout the tour, our guide will bring to life how the world of the shoguns shaped modern Japan and tell stories from the Edo era that you won't find on any plaque.
Our guides are what make this tour special: friendly, energetic, and full of stories and helpful tips.
They love answering questions and sharing other recommendations to enrich your stay in Tokyo, so don't hesitate to ask them.
Whether you're here for the history, the gardens, or just to feel a deeper connection to Japanese culture, this tour is for you.
We want everyone to feel comfortable, so wear whatever you want, tattoos are welcome, and there's no dress code.
Our small group tours make it easy to ask your guide questions about anything related to Tokyo (not necessarily related to the tour), so don't hesitate!
Whether you're a couple, a family, or traveling solo, we want you to leave the Palace with a real understanding of the local history, gardens, and traditions.
We can't wait to welcome you on this tour! :)
