Imperial Palace, Guided Walking Tour
On May 4, our new project named “Cool Tours” has started.
This “Cool Tours” project is designed especially for readers who kindly read entries about cool Japan written by our writers on this website. For you who get inclined to come to Japan and visit places described in some entries here or experience the events referred to in some entries here, this new service project of ours will be surely helpful. Those “real experiences” and “live events” in the tours we would provide you with are available in the reality!
As a certified guide-interpreter in English and also a writer of the website “Cool Japan”, I would like to present one tour plan “IMPERIAL PALACE” shown as below.
Thank you for your kind cooperation, I am looking forward to your contacts.
