Overview

An East Tokyo Half Day Tour While at first glance the west and east sides of central Tokyo might seem similar, they offer distinct experiences. The west, with renowned areas such as Shinjuku and Shibuya, is comparatively modern. In contrast, the east side boasts historical neighborhoods like Ueno, Asakusa, and the vicinity of Tokyo Station. This tour will immerse you in the rich history of east Tokyo. The ambiance and historical significance of areas like Shinbashi, Asakusa, and Ueno, once key hubs of activity in Tokyo, set them apart.
