Very beautiful and memorable tour of Yanaka with our excellent guide Yumi-san

Reviewed by: Animesh, 2020/01/04

It was a very beautiful and informative walking tour. Our guide Yumi-san was very fluent in english. She made our tour memorable by taking us to beautiful cemetery, Sake brewing place etc. If u are first time in tokyo then this walking tour is a must. We were lucky to have Yumi-san as our guide, she was very friendly, cooperative and helped us a lot in knowing more about Tokyo, its history, cuisines, local cultures, folklore etc. This tour has been etched in our memories forever. Arigato gozaimas Yumi-san for such a beautiful and memorable tour.

A splendid walk

Reviewed by: Johanna, 2019/05/13

The walking tour was really very nice and interesting.
Our guide Hizuru gave us much information about the history and the culture of Yanaka. She had a book with her and she explained a lot with pictures and so on and it was very easy to understand. We were also very lucky to see the beautifull flowers at the temple. Our guide has made many photo's of us and she had sent the photo's by mail to us. That was very nice. We have enjoyed the tour and recommend this tour.

Well worth the value for this tour

Reviewed by: Jill, 2018/06/25

I had a great time on this tour. I saw many attractions as well as learned the history (how, where, why's) to the culture or architecture that we saw on our walk. Our guide even was very agreeable to help us purchase products during our stops into shops/bakeries/boutiques along the way. The time went by so quickly I was sad that it was over. Her knowledge of English was superb!

Walking tour at Yanaka with Yoshimi

Reviewed by: Noor, 2017/12/03

A very informative tour and I learned a lot in the span of four hours walking with Yoshimi. Yanaka has this old world charm where the old temples are still preserved and it is very quiet and peaceful town too. It is a contrast to other parts in Tokyo i.e. Shinjuku or Shibuya where there are all hustle and bustle.

After the tour ended, I was fascinated with the historical and facts shared by Yoshimi. I went back to the hotel and did my own research via Google. This tour definitely piqued my interest in Japanese's culture, lifestyle and the country as a whole, as I already start planning on my next trips to Japan.
