Tokyo’s best-known spots are worth a visit but getting away from the touristy areas is the best way to really experience local culture. On this super Sugamo foodie adventure, you can explore a truly hidden gem neighborhood with a 100-year history of food and flavors. Meet some of Tokyo’s friendliest shop owners. Taste special snacks and enjoy a delicious local lunch. Those with a sweet tooth can also have fun trying a few things only available here. This Tour is extremely family-friendly, kids and adults will find so many things to enjoy together.
This friendly town is not far by train from famous areas like Shibuya but it is a world away in terms of atmosphere. Sugamo is often dubbed “Harajuku for the Older Generation,” for its bustling shopping streets favored by the 60+ crowd. Because of this, the neighborhood is one of the best places to connect with locals and soak up Tokyo’s downtown atmosphere. Of course, you don’t have to be a grandma or grandpa to enjoy the unique snacks and browse shops with traditional crafts for sale. Don’t forget to ask your guide about the story behind the Sugamo “lucky red underwear” and visit Kouganji Temple for its healing reputation.
This is a must-do activity and tour, especially for people looking for a local connection, interesting stories and sightseeing, and of course, delicious food.
