From hidden izakayas to generations-old food shops and historic temples with taiko drum and fire ceremonies, Monzen-Nakacho has everything you could dream of in a Tokyo neighborhood. On this afternoon into evening tour, we’ll explore a magical slice of old-school Tokyo where food, faith, drink, and community remain deeply connected. Through Fukagawa meshi, sake, umeshu, amazake, rice crackers, fermentation, temple rituals, and local drinking culture, we’ll taste how Monzen-Nakacho holds together across generations.

Tokyo may be the world’s biggest city, but Kichijoji can feel remarkably like a small town. On this full-day food tour, we’ll explore how one neighborhood continually reinvents itself without losing its local character, moving between sushi counters, family-run food shops, street stalls, specialty stores, drinking alleys and neighborhood institutions. Along the way, we’ll see how curiosity, craft and everyday community life have made Kichijoji one of Tokyo’s favorite places to eat, drink, shop and belong.

Step back into the Tokyo of another era in Yanesen, the historic trio of the Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi neighborhoods. Among temples, shrines, winding backstreets, and family-run shops, we’ll discover how Tokyo remembers, not as a city frozen in time, but as one continually shaped by craft, care, and continuity. This full-day walk blends history and flavor: from handmade onigiri and fresh unagi to nostalgic sweets, retro kissaten coffee, and sake. Along the way, we’ll slip into century-old shops, sip drinks in a converted bathhouse, and meet the craftspeople keeping Tokyo’s culinary traditions alive.
