What you'll do
Tokyo is a huge, modern city, but you can find pockets of traditional culture if you know where to look. On a small-group half-day walking tour of the Yanaka neighborhood, check out wooden homes, temples, shrines, and shopping alleys, some of which survived the World War II bombings. See a quiet part of Tokyo that many travelers miss and sights you might not find if touring independently.
