Ueno Free Tour: Temples, Museums, and Samurai in the Heart of Tokyo
Overview
My name is Fernando. I have a degree in history and have been living in Japan for several years. I combine my historical knowledge with clear, engaging storytelling to help you understand not only the historical facts, but also the people, ideas, and transformations that have shaped modern-day Japan.
This activity includes:
- Hanazono Shrine
- Ueno Park
- National Museum of Nature and Science
- Tokyo National Museum
- Ueno Toshogu Shrine
On arrival
We'll meet in front of the NewDays store, located next to the Park Exit of JR Ueno Station. It's a covered area, perfect for sheltering from the sun in the summer or from the rain.
Things to note
I'll wait 5 to 10 minutes after the agreed-upon time. After that, we'll start the tour.
How can the tour be free?
Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.
Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
Cancellation policy
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
