Tsuruga Castle Gymnasium
Tsuruga Castle (鶴ヶ城, Tsurugajō) was built in 1384 and changed hands many times between the different rulers of the Aizu region. It was destroyed after the Boshin War of 1868, a rebellion against the newly formed Meiji government, which had taken over control from the Tokugawa shogun and put an end to Japan's feudal era. Tsuruga Castle was one of the last strongholds of samurai loyal to the shogunate. The castle was rebuilt as a concrete reconstruction in the 1960s. In renovation works completed in 2011, the color of the roof tiles was reverted from grey to the original red, a unique color among Japanese castles. Visitors can climb to the top floor of the castle keep and look out onto the surrounding city. The inside of the building is an interesting museum with attractive displays about the history of the castle and the samurai lifestyle.
Aizu Old Samurai Residences
The Aizu samurai residence (会津武家屋敷, Aizu Bukeyashiki) served as the quarters of the region's most important and highest ranked samurai, as well as his family, employees, and servants. The original complex was burnt down during the Boshin War in 1868, but has since been reconstructed and furnished to replicate its appearance in the Edo Period. Because of the prestige of the samurai and the size of his retinue, the samurai residence is quite expansive. There are dozens of different rooms and sections, including gardens, guest rooms, a tea house, an archery range and a rice mill. Inside many of the rooms there are mannequins of the former inhabitants portraying either typical scenes of daily life or dramatic historical events.

5.00We had a wonderful experience in Aizuwakamatsu with our guide Mitzuko. She was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable about the history of the region, and her English speaking skills were top notch. She worked with us to put together a mix of activities that everyone in our family enjoyed (we visited the Sazaedo temple, Tsurugajo Castle, and did Akabeko painting). Highly recommend this charming tour guide!
Visit to several key places in Tokyo over a 4 hour tour.

5.00We set up a tour with Japan Guide Agency for 23 May 2025 and our guide was Shuji. We were met at our hotel in Ginza and taken to the Fish Market, to Shibuya District, Imperial Palace and Nezu Shrine. It was great. Shuji is retired but been guiding for 8 years and his English is good and he has a good sense of humour. The Fish Market visit was extremely informative especially with explanations of the different products on sale and how they might be used in traditional Japanese cooking. Next we visited the Shibuya hub where many roads meet in this busy and vibrant area. We then moved towards the Imperial Palace region, past the different Government buildings and Police headquarters to the entrance itself. We didn’t tour the Palace but had a good history lesson of what had happened at the end of WWII. It was very busy with many many tourists. Our final location was a beautiful shrine (Nezu) in the Nezu district. It is set in beautiful grounds with thousands of bushes, shrine buildings and torii arches. The history of the shrine was simply but completely presented as well as a lesson on the differences between Buddhist and Shinto practices. We were fortunate to see a car blessing and a 3-5-7 family visit. Overall, he was great and we appreciated the information provided. On the trip back, he wrote down extensive directions for us to get to the Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens which we later visited.
Great day out

5.00We had a great tour of Aizuwakamatsu with our guide, Mitsuko. The town is calming after a few days in Tokyo. Billed as Samurai City, history as told at historic Tsugaro Castle explains transition from Edo samurai culture to the Meiji restoration. We stopped in at the cozy teahouse for matcha and manju, as well. Visiting the Sazae-Do wooden double helix former temple was enchanting. It is next to the memorial to and gravesite of 19 young men who killed themselves in 1868 in Samurai tradition, believing the struggle was lost. We also stopped at Suehiro Sake for a tour which is only given in Japanese, but Mitsuko explained the process prior. Excellent sake. Mitsuko was a great guide, and was very prepared for our tour. Highly recommend.
Perfect guide for a family outing.

5.00We (parents and two children (9y, 12y)) had a very pleasant trip with Suji (the guide). He helped us get IC cards and told interesting stories about the sites we visited. Suji gave us some interesting insights in Japanese history, myths and religion. He was very well prepared, patient and thoughtful.
Great day in Tokyo

5.00Great tour! Our tour guide, Nobuko, was very knowledgeable of the history of Aizuwakamatsu and went above and beyond with escorting us around the area. She even help arrange our transportation after and gave us some small souvenirs as gifts. I would definitely reccommend this tour if visiting Aizuwakamatsu. The area is beautiful and rich with history.
