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.

“Perfect end to a wonderful holiday!”
Keiko-san was full of energy with her in-depth explanations on Japanese culture during our visit to Ueno and the delicious recommendations during our food hunt at Tsukiiji market. Fully recommend Keiko-san to all tourists young and old! Thank you very much Keiko-san!!!

Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. I was so happy to have a tour with a happy family. I think "Tsukiji & Ueno" tour is a good way to understand Japanese culture. You could experience it through Japanese food and traditional buildings and atmosphere. I hope you will come back to Japan in the near future and see you again in Tokyo. Arigato-Gozaimashita!! Keiko
