Tokyo Hidden Gem✨ Visit the House of Councillors Even Without Japanese
🗼 【Pitfall Guide】 ❌ Does the House of Representatives require Japanese for a tour? No way! Just head straight to the House of Councillors entrance! I've tested it myself and you can get in without Japanese (I was turned away at the House of Representatives first) ⚠️ The House of Representatives is the real Japanese language barrier! I was advised to leave there first, so I just gave up for safety~ 🚶♀️ 【Complete Guide to Visiting the House of Councillors】 Time: Weekdays 9:00-16:00, on the hour sessions, arrive 15 minutes early! Secret: Catch the 16:00 last session! It's so uncrowded you can have the place to yourself (I enjoyed a 1v1 tour like a VIP 👑) Process: 1️⃣ Sign in at the entrance (no reservation needed, but bring your passport!) 2️⃣ Staff "persuasion test": "Are you sure you don't speak Japanese?" Respond firmly: "Yes, but I'd like to visit!" (be polite but insistent) 3️⃣ Security check is very relaxed: just a simple bag inspection, mostly for show 4️⃣ A guide will lead you through the councilors' office area for a 50-minute immersive experience #Tokyo 🌟
