You could explore and learn the normal Japanese lifestyle and culture while walking with our friendly local guide.

Amazingly good YANESEN tour with Kanji our local guide

Published on Sep, 2024

The afternoon walk in Nezu Shrine and Yanaka backstreet was fun and amazing. I enjoy hearing local stories and history from Kanji our guide and he even went extra mile by bringing us to his family graveyard. Really worth to try!
