Highlights
Discover a quieter, more authentic side of Tokyo in Kita-Shinagawa, a historic local neighborhood rarely visited by tourists. Walk along the old Tokaido Road, visit a traditional shrine, and learn about the area’s deep history and everyday local life. The neighborhood is peaceful and relaxed, making this tour especially suitable for families and children, while also offering plenty to enjoy for travelers interested in Japanese history and culture. As your guide knows this area well, you’ll also have opportunities to see local shops, cafés, and connect naturally with people who live and work in the neighborhood.

Itinerary
Walk along the old Tokaido Road, once one of Japan’s most important travel routes connecting Tokyo and Kyoto. As we explore the historic streets of Kita-Shinagawa, I’ll share simple stories about travelers, local merchants, and how this neighborhood developed during the Edo period. You’ll also see a quieter, more local side of Tokyo that many visitors miss. We'll visit some local shops and cafe.
Visit Shinagawa Shrine, a historic local shrine in Shinagawa. I’ll explain basic Shinto traditions, shrine etiquette, and the history of the area while we explore the grounds together. You’ll learn how local people visit and pray at shrines, and discover a quieter, more traditional side of Tokyo away from the main tourist areas.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
