Leaving for Yanaka in Tokyo
Time Travel Walking Tour
If you want to experience a neighborhood where time seems to have stopped, unlike flashy cities like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ginza, I recommend Yanaka. You can travel back in time on a walking tour of Yanaka, which lasts about 3 hours and features old wooden buildings, temples, and shops selling old-fashioned snacks and crafts.
Visit Yanaka to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the charm of a laid-back neighborhood.
Just like the old days
Tokyo Yanaka Walking Tour
Walk through Yanaka, where you can still feel the retro atmosphere, and immerse yourself in its leisurely charm. While walking through the narrow alleys, you can listen to the guide's stories and gain knowledge of history and culture, making the tour even more fulfilling. You will also visit must-see tourist spots around Yanaka, including Tennoji, Yanaka Reien, and Yanaka Beer Hall, so the three hours may feel short.
Since it is a long walking tour, all you need is comfortable shoes and a smartphone to capture memories.
Yanaka Rayen and Nezu Shrine
Yanaka Reien is a cemetery with a vast area of 100,000 square meters. It is home to the graves of many famous Japanese painters, novelists, actors, and other figures. You can hear explanations about the place during the tour. It will definitely be an interesting time to hear the stories behind Yanaka Reien.
Nezu Shrine is famous as a hidden gem shrine in Tokyo. Surrounded by green nature, it has a mysterious atmosphere, so you can take great pictures no matter where you take them. If you are curious about Nezu Shrine, you can check it out on the official website !
