Following on from yesterday, I guided three guests from the United States to sightseeing spots in Tokyo. Unfortunately, it was raining from the morning, but the customers wanted to see both the Nijubashi Bridge, the main gate of the Imperial Palace, and the East Garden, so I first explained the situyation and meaning of the Imperial Palace in front of the Nijubashi Bridge, and then, since it was spring and the season for passing through the Imperial Palace, we walked from Sakashita Gate to Inui Gate, and then strolled through the East Garden. There were many kinds of cherry blossoms in bloom, but unfortunately the rain and cold weather meant we couldn’t enjoy them very slowly.

After that, we visited Sensoji Temple, had tempura for lunch, and then enjoyed the spring scenery on a Sumida River cruise to Hinode Pier, admiring the cherry blossoms blooming on the banks of the Sumida River.

We had planned to stroll through Hama Rikyu Garden from Hinode Pier, but the wind was getting stronger, so we enjoyed shopping in the basement of a department store in Ginza and around shopping area.

This tour was arranged by a Japanese travel agency.
