Yanaka area
Originally known as a temple town but has been popularized for its old town houses. Here, you will visit the "Asakura Sculpture Museum", constructed about 115 years ago. Feel the essence and sophistication of a traditional Japanese home.
(Entrance fee costs ￥500 ) Then I'd like you to enjoy "Yanaka Ginza", a nostalgic shopping mall selling daily dish, fish, rice, sake... Here you will find what locals eat and drink every day.

HI. I am Keiko. I'm a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter - Your local tour guide.I was born in Tokyo and studied Japanese history in the University. I used to work as a junior high school English teacher for over 30 years . So I know about Tokyo a lot. One of my hobbies is Japanese history and finding similarities with world history is very interesting and so much fun for me.
Tokyo is an attractive city where you can both experience the marriage of both traditional and modern culture. I'd be more than happy to share with you my rich knowledge and experience. I'll be grateful to arrange a tour for you according to your preferences. I'm looking forward to having a good time with you and I hope to be a part of your stay here in Japan.

“Amazing tour!”
Keiko was an excellent tour guide. She did a customized tour for us as we wanted to see some things off the beaten path but also some more touristy areas. She delivered! We had a 6 hour tour and we covered many cool areas and learned so much! I highly recommend a tour with Keiko.
