Guided by Prof. Hidenobu Jinnai, the tour explores remnants of the merchant town, the revitalized Nihonbashi Kabutocho area, the riverside along Kamejimagawa, and traces of the Edo port around Tsukudajima and Okawabata, revealing the dynamic transformations of Tokyo’s waterside through time and space.

Notes
We recommend installing the Oedo Map app, “大江戸今昔めぐり,” beforehand and using it on-site (Japanese only).
Participants gather and disperse on-site. Travel and accommodation are each participant’s responsibility.
This is an event where participants walk a long-distance course. Please wear comfortable clothing, suitable walking shoes, and bring your own drink.
In principle, the event will be held even in light rain, but if severe weather is expected, we will contact you by the day before.
If you are unable to arrive by the departure time, you may be asked to join the group at an intermediate point along the route.
