A famous local trainspotting spot where three train lines—the Chuo, Sobu, and Marunouchi lines—cross over the Kanda River. It's a perfect, very-Tokyo photo moment to start your morning. As your guide, I'll show you my favorite view in all of Tokyo.

Kanda Myojin is a famous shrine with over 1,300 years of history, worshipped by samurai in the Warring States era and by the people of old Edo. Every May it hosts one of Japan's three great festivals. Here you'll learn the etiquette of visiting a Japanese shrine, and you can pick up souvenirs such as omikuji paper fortunes.

We finish at a beloved local ramen shop famous for its elegant duck (kamo) broth—clean, refined, and just right for the morning. I'll help you use the ticket machine and order like a regular, and explain what makes different Japanese ramen styles unique while you enjoy your bowl.
