Overview

Discover Tokyo's hidden gem, Yanaka, and experience its old-world charm. This quaint district boasts traditional wooden houses that survived WWII, now transformed into cozy cafes and bars. Visit the stunning Nezu Shrine with its iconic red torii gates, intricate golden sculptures, and serene Japanese garden, where azaleas bloom vibrantly in spring. Stroll through the residential backstreets, explore a vast cemetery, and enjoy local flavors at Yanaka Ginza shopping street, packed with traditional Japanese snacks and sweets. Yanaka offers a unique blend of history, tranquility, and traditional Tokyo life, making it a perfect escape from the bustling city and a chance to see the quieter, more picturesque side of Japanese culture.

Old Tokyo Yanaka area

Published on May, 2025

This is a nice 4 hrs walk around Yanaka which is a old historic district which has kept its architectural design, including the narrow streets and small houses. The cemetery had a beautiful center road filled with cherry blossoms in bloom. The shrines and temples visited were small but well kept. Wandering a cross these streets was insightful and different. We discovered beautiful hidden spots. Our guide was professional and knowledgeable. We Highly recommend this tour.

Really pleasant way to spend an afternoon

Published on May, 2025

This trip is a great contrast to the hustle and bustle of the rest of Tokyo. Meet up then stroll off stopping at various temples, galleries, etc… Weave your way around some beautiful neighbourhoods. The guide called Kaumi was pretty great. We started the tour in heavy rain (check the weather before you go..!) but she kept everyone smiling and it ended up a terrific afternoon. Highly recommended ask for Kaumi, she’s awesome.

Visit to Yanaka-Old Tokyo.

A wonderful tour filled with great history! Really enjoyed this walking tour with my partner. Aya was incredibly sweet and extremely knowledgeable ! You can tell how much she not only loves the culture but also is caring towards her guests.
