Step back in time and immerse yourself in the culture of the Edo period on this half-day guided tour through Tokyo’s historic northeast. Designed for food lovers and culture seekers, this experience blends history, craftsmanship, and cuisine to bring the spirit of old Tokyo to life.

Begin your journey in Shibamata, a nostalgic riverside neighborhood that still carries the charm of the 17th century. Walk along the lively Taishakuten-sando, lined with traditional shops, and try classic local treats such as kusa dango (mugwort dumplings), handmade senbei, and freshly grilled river fish—flavors that reflect the area’s merchant-town past. Then visit Taishakuten Temple, founded in 1629, known for its intricate wood carvings and serene, spiritual atmosphere.

Your tour concludes in Ueno’s Yokocho, a lively post-war alley filled with tiny izakayas and retro eateries. Settle into a local spot for a drink and enjoy yakitori, grilled seafood, and sashimi while soaking in the warmth of Tokyo’s everyday culinary culture.

This tour offers a delicious and authentic window into the layers of history and tradition still alive beneath Tokyo’s modern surface.
