Overview

What you'll do

Explore the charming Old Quarter of Tokyo on this guided walking tour of Yanaka.

Tour Highlight

Tokyo is a massive, modern city, but you can still discover pockets of traditional culture if you know where to look. On a small-group half-day walking tour of the Yanaka neighborhood, you'll get to explore wooden homes, temples, shrines, and shopping alleys, some of which survived the World War II bombings. This quiet part of Tokyo is often overlooked by travelers, but it's a great place to discover sights you might not find if touring independently.
