Tokyo
From Kaminarimon to Yanaka Ginza — a half-day stroll through old Tokyo with a local guide.
Asakusa is the Tokyo everyone photographs; Yanaka is the one locals keep to themselves. This private walk joins the two old towns along a single path.
Snack your way down Nakamise, draw your fortune at Senso-ji, then hop a train to Yanaka for back-alley cats, quiet temples and the famous "sunset stairs". Your guide grew up here and knows the stories the guidebooks miss.
- About 4 km at an easy pace
- Umbrellas provided on rainy days
