During the Edo period, Nihonbashi was the starting point of the Five Roads that connected Tokyo with other areas, a place where a fish market was held, and a town of merchants. Many long-established stores still exist. Let's explore authentic Japanese souvenirs in Nihonbashi. Also, enjoy eating around Ningyocho, which is a performing arts town along with Asakusa and has many long-established gourmet restaurants.

During the Edo period, Nihonbashi was the starting point of the Five Roads that connected Tokyo with other areas. Even now we can see the Japanese National Road Marker.
Nihonbashi has been redeveloped, and there are many long-established shops among the many modern commercial facilities. There are also many long-established independent stores in the vicinity. I will guide you to the 2 or 3 stores of your choice including food, stationery, personal items, and daily necessities.
You can purchase SENSU folding fans, Japanese paper stationery, Edo Glass, Dashi soup stock, Japanese knives, and more for example.
Ningyocho is a part of the Nihonbashi area, but it is reminiscent of the Edo period. In this district, you can enjoy street food such as minced meat croquettes, tofu donuts, and fish-shaped pancakes with red bean paste.
Suitengu is a shrine that is often visited by women who are about to give birth. This is an urban-style shrine that was recently rebuilt and docked inside a building.

Hello!
I'm Maki. Nice to meet you.
I used to work at a travel agency as a tour escort so I have traveled to more than 50 countries and all 47 prefectures in Japan.
When I came back to Japan from abroad, I always noticed virtues and points to be admired in Japan anew.
I'm thrilled to introduce such kinds of stories and favorite spots to you.
I like bar hopping, cooking, history, and outdoor activities such as camping, cycling.
I have a licence of International Sake Sommlier and Wine Expert. I'm happy if I would have a chance to introduce you about sake and wine. Let's have fun together!

“First evening in Tokyo ”
Maki met us at our hotel (after we had been in Tokyo for only 4hours on our first day of our trip )to guide us to local food and drinks near our hotel. It was a total success as Maki guided us through very busy areas to a great restaurant for tempura/sushi , beers and wine. She was great company (very fluent English) and showed us a lot in a short time which set up our next days in Tokyo. We even went back to the restaurant on our own later in our stay.
