Great architecture tour of Ginza!

Published on Dec, 2024

Ginza has such amazing architecture! Hiring a private guide can find some real delights! Our guide, Taka Yamamura-San, was so knowledgeable and informative! He’s an urban planner who knows Ginza very well and provided great background and history on almost a dozen different buildings and sites. We’ve visited Ginza over 20 times and learned so much more from him than just seeing an interesting building. He also informed us of exciting ideas on how Ginza was evolving for the future. If you are at all interested in architecture, I highly recommend this tour as a great way to enjoy the beauty of Ginza.

Great architecture

Yoshi was a great guide! You get to see a entire different view of the city! Looking up instead of forward or down you can learn so much.

Very interesting Tokyo Ginza architecture tour

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a tour that was both informative and friendly, led by the very knowledgeable guide Yoko. We looked at historical architecture as well as modern architecture. Yoko was very accommodating and a pleasant person. We can recommend the tour without reservation.

Thoroughly enjoyable and well paced tour

Published on Aug, 2024

A very wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon - the pace was perfect, Taka-san was very knowledgeable and picked some great places to show us which we would have missed altogether without his expert knowledge. We also requested to visit a different place and he tailored the tour for us on the day, unfazed. He really brought the architecture and artistry of the buildings in Ginza to life for us - thank you Taka-san.
