• Nezu Shrine - Nezu Shrine, located in Tokyo’s Bunkyo ward near Ueno Park, is one of Japan’s oldest and most beautiful shrines. Surrounded by lush greenery, it features carp-filled ponds, pathways lined with small shrine arches, and elegant, vibrantly colored wooden structures that showcase the timeless beauty of Japanese culture.

• Yanaka District - The Yanaka area in Tokyo is a favorite among foreign visitors. Here, you can engage in various Japanese cultural activities such as washoku cooking, origami, and calligraphy. You can also enjoy a stroll, visit shops, temples, and shrines. At our studio, you can choose activities like calligraphy, origami, kimono wearing, and bento lunch making. A local guide will accompany you through the neighborhood, allowing you to interact with the locals.

• Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street - Yanaka remains a residential area where many locals live. Visitors to Yanaka Ginza can observe the daily activities and trades in the district market. The unique Shitamachi character of the area attracts many domestic tourists. Stray cats, once common here, have become an iconic motif of Yanaka.

• Yuyake Dandan - Located to the north of Yanaka Ginza Street, Yuyake Dandan (which means ‘sunset staircase’ in Japanese) is a well-known spot in the area. From the top of the steps, you can witness a stunning sunset. The illuminated arch at the entrance to Yanaka Ginza, along with the shops and locals bathed in the light of the setting sun, offers a glimpse of an older, slower-paced Tokyo. Arrive about an hour before sunset to explore the area and enjoy the casual street food.
