Highlights

Step into the lively streets of Ueno and discover one of Tokyo’s best areas for an authentic izakaya experience. We will be walking around Ameyoko's narrow streets that are packed with tiny restaurants, bustling standing bars, and cozy izakayas where locals gather for good food, drinks, and conversation. This tour takes you beyond the typical tourist spots and into the energetic atmosphere that makes Ueno such a memorable place to eat and drink. We’ll visit several carefully selected izakayas, sampling a variety of Japanese dishes along the way.

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).
