Visit one of Tokyo’s oldest surviving landscape gardens.
Next to Tokyo's famous baseball dome lies Koishikawa Korakuen, a traditional garden first established in 1629 by daimyo lords.
During this autumn tour to the stunning surroundings, participants will learn about the purpose and symbolism of the features of this Edo-era garden and how society functioned at the time.
The second part of the tour takes in Kagurazaka, once a lively geisha district and now the city's chic French neighborhood, dubbed Tokyo's “Little Paris.”
The tour will conclude with an optional lunch.
