Excellent tour

Our guide Hana was very friendly. She oriented us with the local culture, including foods, drinks, architecture and habits of local people in Yanaka. Highly recommend this tour!

Great afternoon walking and learning about Yanaka area

Great afternoon walking around Yanaka. There were only 2 of us on the tour which was amazing, felt like an intimate private walking tour. Enjoyed the scenery and snacks along the way! Loved hearing about the artisan neighbourhood and seeing the old buildings along the way. Didn't realise we were going to take a break at the cat cafe to paint a cat.. was a good little break and had fun painting my cat!! The shopping strip was great and our sake tasting experience was fantastic.. had a great time, highly recommend

Informative, fun and interesting

Completed this walking tour around Yanaka on a weekday afternoon and it was a fascinating experience. My guide was friendly, polite, had good conversational English and clearly wanted to show me this neighbourhood. Met at advised meeting point right on time and we proceeded around the route, hearing stories and having all my questions answered. Whilst I’m not an art fan, I did enjoy decorating my plaster cat! Really enjoyed my tour and my faithful guide. He made sure I found my train station and gave me clear instructions how to get back to my hotel. Very much recommended.

Fun Afternoon
