Overview

  • ●It's not just about sightseeing spots!　The charm of Tokyo's back alleys!
    The starting point of the tour is a hikifune boat in downtown Tokyo.It is also close to Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree, making it easy to access.

    Cooling towels are provided for summer use.You will also get another bottle (or an ice cream) free of charge during the tour, in addition to the bottle you normally get for free.

    From March to April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom around the course.There are many points on the tour where you can run under the cherry blossoms.

    Also, during each stop, we dare to drive down alleyways instead of the big main street.Tokyo's streets are said to be more complicated and confusing than other cities, but with the help of a guide who knows the area well, you can get lost in the “maze” of downtown.

    ● Cycling to feel the streets of Edo
    There are many walks in Edo and around town, but not many tours by bicycle.

    You can enjoy the course slowly, imagining the streets of the Edo period, feel the wind and enjoy the speed of a light bicycle, or take a tour of Tokyo at the pace of the participants.

    Tandem bicycles for two passengers are also available upon request.Please apply in advance.

Activity itinerary

Yamamotoya (Chōmeiji Sakuramochi)

  • 10m
Sakuramochi, a Cherry Cake, is one of the most famous Japanese traditional sweets, which is wrapped in a salt-pickled cherry leaf, filled with red bean paste. They say, this shop founded the first Sakuramochi in Edo era. Why it is wrapped with salt-pickled leaf? Probably, somebody looked to a lot of leaves on ground, fallen from cherry blossom trees, and thought to use them for some food. *On Monday, we visit another Japanese sweet shop.

This temple is a part of Sensoji, founded in 595.

The pouch is a symbol of treasure, and it represents the gift of prosperity in business. There is a beautiful garden, which is authentic Japanese style, in the temple.
