A 3-hour walking tour of Tokyo's Yanaka district led by a local English-speaking guide, covering Yanaka Cemetery, Ueno Sakuragi Atari, Nezu Shrine, Hebimichi backstreet, and Yanaka Ginza shopping street. Photo opportunities are included throughout the route.
The walking tour was very well done and informative. The guide was very informative and very easy to understand. She did the right mix of traditional aspects of Yamanaka as well as taking us through Yamanaka Ginza. I also loved spending time at the Nezu Shrine as well as walking through the cemetery.
Yamanaka had the right mix of Japanese and foreign tourists so not as overwhelming as the bigger tourist traps in Tokyo like Shibuya and Shinjuku.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Yanaka walking tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Junko. She was warm, engaging, and spoke excellent English, which made everything easy to follow and enjoyable from start to finish.
