The Old Town Tokyo Food Tour - On this tour guests will visit the charming area of Yanaka – one of the few remaining districts in Tokyo where the shitamachi (downtown) atmosphere– a feeling of Tokyo from past decades, still survives. The Yanaka area is filled with a feeling of nostalgia and a rustic charm. Our tour will offer you a sightseeing opportunity different from the “big city” feel of other parts of Tokyo. Try dishes from small family businesses that have cold this area “home” for decades. This tour ends with a very unique green tea and traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets) experience in a special shop run by the 4th generation family owner.
