Walking Tour: Historical Structures in Ueno.
Joined 2015
In Ueno Park, there are 5 museums and 1 concert hall. Not only exhibits of them, but also their buildings themselves are worth to see. Some of them have historical backgrounds and famous architects designed them. Others have impressive modern view as well.
We'll stroll Ueno Park to see their impressive outside views and walk to Kyu-Iwasaki-Tei, historical residence of billionaire in Meiji period.
You will be sure to be impressed their solemn and beautiful appearances.
*In the tour, visits into those museums are not included. However, if you request to visit any of those facilities, we can rearrange the itinerary. I can also check museum schedules for you.

About Tour Guide Tak Y.
Hi, my name is Tak.
I have seen travelers.
And, I found they got tired of typical sightseeing spots, like crowded temples and shrines.
There must be spots fit to your feeling and interests, more in Japan.
Then, I’d like to propose.
Why don’t you start unique and original tour, only your hearts bring to yourselves?
.
I had guided
Pokemon tour
Ghost story tour

Live house tour
Bento (lunchbox) tour
Textile tour
Papermaking tour
I’ll search the site you want to see and create your unique itinerary.
First, could you give your message about things you want to do and see in Japan?
Let’s make great time you can’t never forget.
Thank you so much.

I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling and I walk about this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of gigantic tree, a beer bar in an impressive old house, unique souvenir shops, cats living in Yanaka and many, many other attractive spots in this area.
You can expect a day that nobody read in guide books.
So!
I hope you name me as the navigator of your fantastic memory-making-tour!!!!
I’m 61-year-old and I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the location and occasion according to your mood and boom.

“Great Day in Asakusa and Yanaka”
Thank you Tak for a great day. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guid in Tokyo. We had a great time at all the places he took as too and really went the extra mile helping us understand more about Japan, he even helped us with booking our Shinkansen tickets and gave us some great recommendations for places to eat.

(20 reviews)Hi, Steven. Thank you for choosing me as a guide for the first day of your first visit to Japan. I'm happy if you enjoyed the day. Yanaka is one of my favorite towns, and your smiles in the antique shop, Mr. Allan West's workshop, Nezu shrine, and on the way brightened the day. Your Japanese tour is going on. Hope you two have a great holiday! -Tak

“World's biggest drain”
We had a great journey with Tak who was really flexible and helpful! He made real effort to figure out schedules and procedures to the sight we wanted even it definately wasn't the most typical sightseeing destination. He had even made us printed themed schedules :) One sort of accidental highlight was beautiful walk to the sight, and Tak did share his knowledge of local culture. We also got tips over where to go and what to do with the rest of our journey in Japan. Recommended ^_^

(20 reviews)Thank you so much! It was an excellent experience, a day of long trains, long walks, long stairs (ups and downs), and fantastic views. Actually, I didn't know about the place. Not only as a guide but also as myself, I was excited at every moment in the underground world. I must apologize for fatiguing you, but your patience helped me. Thank you again, and I wish you would announce the name of Tak to people in your country. lol. Have a memorable holiday, keep safe, and don't walk too much. (Tak)
