You’ll join one of our local Tokyo hosts to decipher the history of this futuristic city together - it had to start somewhere, right?
Akihabara or Shinjuku might make you feel like you’ve skipped 100 years into the future, but there are still historic neighborhoods which contain relics of days gone by.
Whether you want to go really far back (we’re talking ancient) and discover the most historic shrines and temples, or your vibe is more a pre-war yokocho (alleyway) where you can get a feel for the old Tokyo, all you need to do is let us know.
From buildings that capture the different Japanese imperial eras to alleys dotted with traditional tea-houses, Tokyo’s cultural history is rich.
Marvel at neighborhoods, like Koenji, which are all but untouched by Japan’s 1980s boom of modernity, whilst confronting sleek, towering skyscrapers around the very next corner.
Tokyo combines extremes in an effortless embrace, and your host can’t wait to show you how this extraordinary coexistence is exactly what makes their city so special!
