Out of the many things to explore in Tokyo, this booklet walks you through three of the most famous Tokyo areas, viz Asakusa, Ueno, and Yanaka. These areas together give a glimpse into the fascinating aspects of Tokyo. Through Asakusa, you can experience the religious practices of Japan. Shintoism and Buddhism are religions in Japan. This tour includes the worship places of each of them. Ueno brings out the Edo period and the events leading to the rise and fall of the Tokugawa clan. It is a peek into the life of the military class of Japan, which ruled for almost 750 years. Yanaka is a shitamachi district or where the commoners lived. Now it has transformed into an art hub. It is also home to a large number of Buddhist temples. This tour explores the art from the Edo to modern Japan.
