Very knowledgeable and interesting walking tour of an obscure area of Tokyo missed by many tour groups. Near Ueno Park. Highly recommend if you are filling in a blank spot on your stay in Tokyo.

I went on the walking tour of Yanaka with Sayoko, she was an excellent guide. She shared a lot of interesting knowledge about the area, and pointed out sights that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. It was really nice to explore a quieter and less touristy area of Tokyo, it was definitely a highlight of the trip.
