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.

About Tour Guide Maki K.

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!

Lunch at Hantei ,dinner at a fancy place In Ginza

Once again I had an amazing day , we visited 2 excellent restaurants, traditional place for dinner and sake pairing in exquisite place in Ginza. Also had a walk in the Eastern part of Tokyo and was able to see part of the life of locals here. Thank you for the great experience !

Petar D.

Thank you again. It has been a real honor to have been with you on so many wonderful experiences.

Amazing first day in Tokyo

My experience was exactly to my liking, enjoyed mixture of site seeing and foodie tour in two exquisite places.Perfect day!

Petar D.

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that. Let's have fun one more day 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.

Gary W.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. I was so glad that my introduction could help you a little. I hope your ongoing travel will be memorable and pleasant! Maki

Tokyo Ginza Then and Now (Izakaya hopping tour in 3 hours)

Tokyo
3 hours

You want to experience Izakaya like locals? Are you a little reluctant to drink in Shinjuku Kabukicho or the youth town of Shibuya? If so, I recommend Ginza, Yurakucho area! The area has some different profiles. There are deep izakaya alleys underneath the JR railways that retain a postwar atmosphere and also high-end streets where the district became first westernized after the Edo period. You can enjoy 2 very different types of drinking spots while touching about the history.

Shitamachi literally means "downtown", but it is a Japanese term often used to describe old traditional towns located in Eastern Tokyo. The famous Shitamachi areas include Asakusa, Yanaka, Fukagawa, and more. In this tour, I feature Fukagawa. We visit Fukagawa Fudoson temple, Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine (not in Kamakura), Fukagawa Edo Museum, and Kiyosumi Garden. You can also enjoy town strolling in the Shitamachi atmosphere.
