Join the Edo Tokyo History Tourism Event

Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau are excited to announce the launch of their engaging community event, the "Edo Tokyo History Tourism" project! This initiative, which is part of the broader "Tomorrow's Tokyo Project", brings together residents and businesses to rediscover and embrace the captivating cultural heritage and nature that Tokyo has to offer.

The first event invites families and individuals alike to embark on a journey through Tokyo's historical and cultural landscapes. Whether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer, this tour promises to unveil aspects of Tokyo that you may have never encountered before.

Event Details

Set against the backdrop of Tokyo Station, participants will explore iconic areas such as Marunouchi, the Imperial Palace East Garden, and Hibiya. Guided by knowledgeable experts, you will immerse yourself in the stories and significance of these locations while taking in the beautiful scenery and architectural wonders that define Tokyo's rich past.
During the tour, each participant will bring along a personal camera to document their experiences and discoveries. This creative aspect culminates in the creation of an "Original Tokyo Map", where attendees can showcase their unique perspectives of the city!
