Great tour through Yanaka with Hina - Hina took us for lovely walk through the quiet rainy streets of Yanaka and the beautiful Nezu Shrine. She was really friendly and informative. We would highly recommend this tour with Hina for anyone wanting to see a bit of real Japanese life outside the usual tourist areas.

Walking historic neighborhoods near the University of Tokyo - We had a great time talking about the area, the history, and the shrines and temples along the way. Near the end, as we walked along a shopping street, our guide helped us pick foods to try and showed us shops with handcrafted goods.

Even as a Japanese, I enjoyed the culture! - Hina was incredibly knowledgeable about each spot we visited! Even as a Japanese person, I learned so much about Japanese culture and history that I didn't know before. It was truly an enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it to foreign visitors as well!

A breath of local fresh air! - The tour was amazing! Mark was an awesome guide. After visiting some of the busier touristy areas like Shinjuku and Shibuya, we wanted to visit an area that had a different yet easy pace. If you ever want to get immersed in the culture of old Japan in Yanaka we would highly recommend this tour!!

Yanaka Review - I had an amazing time with Hina, our tour guide. We were only 3 people so it was like a private tour. This is a good tour if you want to visit the Yanaka neighborhood and buy some things.
