Overview
While many visitors explore iconic landmarks like Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, few venture into the charming backstreets of Kagurazaka—one of Tokyo’s best-kept secrets. On our tour, we’ll take you beyond the typical tourist path to uncover this historic neighborhood filled with old-world atmosphere, traditional architecture, and rich cultural heritage.
All of the locations we visit, including Kagurazaka, are deeply connected to the Edo period and the Tokugawa Shogunate, pivotal chapters in Japan’s history. However, these deep cultural layers are often hard to appreciate when exploring on your own.
Our guided tour not only brings history to life through insightful storytelling, but also offers exclusive local tips and unique experiences you won’t find in any guidebook. Let us help you see Tokyo through the eyes of a local—past and present.
