When you are tired with modern buildings and busy city areas in Tokyo, how about going to relax in the nostalgic common people's town?

We will take you to the city of 50 or 100 years ago.

In this town many old houses, stores and temples remain, because this area escaped from earthquakes, fires, and air raids. Also you can find nostalgic Japanese common people's daily life which cannot be found in tourist spots.

This tour is led by National Licensed Guide Interpreter.

This itinerary is just a sample. We'd be more than happy to arrange the tour based on your requests.

What To Expect

Yanaka Cemetery

Yanaka Cemetery (Yanaka Reien) is a large cemetery located north of Ueno in Yanaka, Tokyo, Japan. The Yanaka sector of Taito is one of the few Tokyo neighborhoods in which the old Shitamachi atmosphere can still be felt. The cemetery is famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms that in April completely cover its paths, and for that reason that its central street is often called Cherry-blossom Avenue.

Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street

Yanaka Ginza is an example of one shotengai that is thriving against the odds. Its retro charm lies in small independent shops, from sellers of meat, fish, vegetables, and other daily staples, to purveyors of ready-to-eat foods, tea, or traditional Japanese wagashi sweets—all prepared the good old-fashioned way, in small handmade batches.

Yoshio was an excellent guide. Really enjoyed the sites and loved experiencing the subway. He was knowledgeable and always checked us for stops or lunch break, very thoughtful.
First Time in Tokyo/Japan.

Was glad we had a guide to help us navigate the train stations. Only negative was our guide was young with little experience in imparting detailed information/knowledge on the places we visited.
