Ueno Free Tour: Temples, Museums and Samurai in the Heart of Tokyo
Overview
My name is Fernando, I have a degree in History and I have been living in Japan for several years. I combine my historical knowledge with a clear and close narrative to help you understand not only the historical facts, but also the people, ideas and transformations that shaped Japan today.
This activity includes:
- Hanazono Shrine
- Ueno Park
- National Museum of Nature and Science
- Tokyo National Museum
- Ueno Toshogu Shrine
On arrival
We will meet right at the "Ueno Exit" exit of Ueno Station, in front of the big sign with the park map on it.
I will be holding a white umbrella, so you can easily identify me.
Things to note
I will wait 5 to 10 minutes after the agreed time. After that time, we will 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.
