Discover the cultural and political heritage of Tokyo through this insightful tour.
In 1478, when Ota Doukan built Edo Castle in Edo (present-day Tokyo), he requested Kawagoe Sanno-sha Shrine as a god of protection, and it has been revered by residents as the birth god of Edo. Recently, the shrine has been gaining popularity as a power spot for its benefits such as match-making, fulfillment of love, work luck, and business prosperity. The Sanno Festival, held every other June, is one of the three major festivals in Edo.
The Japanese Diet consists of the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors, both of which are composed of elected representatives. The tour will take approximately one hour to visit the House of Representatives and follow a predetermined tour route to see the inside and outside of the building, which was constructed using materials gathered from all over Japan.
