Overview

Discover Tokyo as a great tale that unfolds chapter after chapter. In just a few hours, we will cross centuries of history: from the gardens of the Tokugawa, where Edo Castle once stood, to the surprising modernity of the Tokyo International Forum, to the futuristic artificial islands of Odaiba. This itinerary stems from my readings on Japanese literature and urbanism, which inspired me to build a unique itinerary: not only a sequence of iconic places, but a narrative that interweaves architecture, history and everyday life. At the end of the tour you will no longer see Tokyo as just a charming and tidy metropolis, but as a living, layered and complex city, where each building and each neighborhood tells a piece of its true identity.
