"Japanese culture" is an extremely broad subject - you need to refine it a lot more. There are many categories, like its food, music, castles, arts, temples/shrines, nature, gardens, night life, museums, shopping, history, and a lot more.Visiting a hot spring (onsen) at least once would be an exc...

How about Sensoji Temple and Zojoji Temple? Asakusa can see the sky tree while riding a rickshaw and Zojoji can be seen with Tokyo Tower. It is recommended that the light up of the night is beautiful. Because there are also many tourists, I think that English can be communicated somewhat.
