In evidenza

Please note that this tour does not use a private vehicle and uses public transport. This tour involves several hours of walking in the outdoors Known as ’Yanesen’ in Tokyo, the trio of Yanaka, Nezu and Sendagi make up this area and have retained their old ‘Shitamachi’ (lower city) style, architecture and charm, despite being a stone’s throw away from some of the well known metropolis areas of Tokyo. If on your trip to Tokyo you want a chance to step off the tourist trail and see a different side to this amazing city, then ’Yanesen’ must be added to your Tokyo itinerary! You will start by visiting Yanaka, a historic and artistic area, and a perfect example of a Shitamachi in Japan. A cosy and traditional neighbourhood not many tourists know about, you will step back in time and enjoy an atmosphere that is very different to many parts of Tokyo. Next, you will visit Sendagi known for its temples and park. Finally, you will visit Nezu to see one of Tokyo’s most beautiful shrines.

About Tokyo

Quartieri al neon, santuari silenziosi, cucina superba e zone distinte compongono Tokyo, vasta e ordinata metropoli collegata da treni puntuali.

Ogni distretto sembra una città a sé. Il famoso incrocio di Shibuya e le torri, i bar e i vicoli di Golden Gai a Shinjuku pulsano di energia, mentre Harajuku unisce la moda giovanile alla calma boscosa del santuario Meiji Jingu. Ad Asakusa il tempio Sensō-ji e la sua via commerciale mantengono viva una Tokyo più antica, e Ginza offre grandi magazzini eleganti e gallerie.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
