This tour covers some of the most interesting sights in Tokyo. It is a full day of walking and boating – if you’re older like I am you might want to take two days to cover this route. The author must be a speed-walker – I hobbled along taking twice the time she took to get from the subway to the Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens. But the magnificent 17th century gardens are definitely worth the effort! The two museums are very interesting – particularly the Edo-Tokyo museum. You could easily spend a whole day there. The boat ride is a relaxing trip through the heart of Tokyo. And the Asakusa temple and shrine complex was wonderful – but I suggest you check with your hotel as to a good time to arrive at Asakusa – we were there in mid-afternoon on a weekend, and it was very crowded. Bottom line – this self-guided tour is the best and most convenient way to see these major Tokyo attractions.
