"Yanaka & Nezu Walking Tour — Where Old Tokyo Still Breathes This walking tour invites you to explore the quiet heart of Tokyo, in Yanaka and Nezu — neighborhoods where time slows down. Wander past wooden houses, local temples, and family-run shops, and see how tradition and everyday life still blend naturally here. Rather than famous sights, you’ll discover how Tokyoites find beauty in narrow lanes, seasonal rituals, and small daily gestures — a living expression of Japan’s spirit that endures in Yanaka and Nezu."

Kawagoe is the perfect escape from Tokyo's bustling modernity: in fact, even though many foreign tourists don't know about it, Kawagoe is so rich in heritage and tradition and it deserves a full day to be visited.

From there we will move to Kashiya Yokocho, an alley where traditional candy shops are located. At the end of the tour, if you chose one of the option, you will be introduced to a rickshaw rider or a Kimono rental shop: you will be free to explore more of Kawagoe, go back to Tokyo, visit the close Sayama city or move to Omiya and catch a Shinkansen train
