Try local food and explore the nostalgic streets of Yanesen. Yanesen stretches out over two wards; Bunkyoku and Taitoku, and is the generic name of the three old shopping streets; Yanaka, Nezu and Sendagi, of this area. In this tour, we will taste the usual Japanese meals such as croquettes, which are very popular among the locals, and onigiri, a traditional Japanese meal. You will also be able to enjoy Japanese food culture in one area. Other than the cuisine, you will also be introduced to traditional shops that sells Japanese accessories, a hand puppet show with elaborate and expressive puppets, and a shrine with a tunnel of vibrant red torii gates. Live like the locals for a day in Yanesen!

This was the first tour l ever tried with Viator and it was amazing! We wanted a Cantonese guide and the company was able to arrange a very professional and friendly Cantonese speaking tour guide for us. The experience was so much fun! We has great food, learned so much about the local culture and visited areas we would never have known to visit by ourselves. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Overall we had a really pleasant experience yesterday. The weather was amazing, guide was very friendly. We enjoyed our strolling down the streets and eating, shopping along the way experience very much. Miyuki took us to many local small shops, and that Minchikatsu place was awesome. The guide knew where to take the best photos and it was nice to have someone to be our photographer. In the area, there are lots of very cozy and retro cafes and small shops, but it was a pity that many of them were closed becuz it was a Monday. Luckily our guide Miyuki had some backup plans, so we still got to have some alternative locations to go.

My friends and I signed up for a day tour around the Sendagi neighborhood. Our tour guide Miyuki-san kicked off our tour at Yanaka Ginza and introduced us to the popular shops in the area. After eating our way through Yanaka, Miyuki-san took us to Nezu Shrine, where we happened to spot CNN’s Richard Quest, and got to take a picture with him. The tour ended with a delicious simple onigiri set. Overall, we were very satisfied with the tour and our tour guide, Miyuki-san was really sweet and helpful.
