Itinerary
1
Tokyo
Kick off your day with your local host in the heart of Tokyo, going beyond the typical tourist circuit. Explore lively neighborhoods, local shops, and quiet backstreets tailored to your interests. It's a relaxed, friendly introduction to a day shaped entirely around what you want to see. Here’s a sample of what you can expect:
2
Yanaka District
Stroll through old Tokyo in Yanaka, a historic neighborhood spared from wartime bombing. Your host will guide you through artisan shops, traditional houses, quiet temples, and peaceful cemeteries that tell the story of Tokyo’s past in a way the skyscrapers can’t.
3
Ueno Park
Explore one of Tokyo’s most beloved parks, filled with museums, ponds, and shrines. Your host will share stories about seasonal festivals and historical monuments while guiding you through serene spaces like Hanazono Inari Shrine’s red torii tunnel—all free to wander.
4
Ameyoko Shopping District
Walk through the vibrant chaos of Ameya-Yokocho, where tiny shops sell street snacks, clothes, and local treats. Your host will help you navigate hidden alleys and introduce you to this bustling slice of daily life.
5
Asakusa
Visit Tokyo’s oldest temple at Senso-jo. Wander along Nakamise shopping street for traditional snacks and souvenirs while your host shares cultural rituals and legends that bring this historic district to life.
6
Kagurazaka
End your day in Kagurazaka, known for narrow lanes with old geisha houses, tucked-away shrines, and a European café vibe. Your host will reveal hidden alleys and quiet courtyards that feel miles away from Tokyo’s neon bustle.
