Some notes and details from our lovely tour guide Lærke:
This isn’t your typical walking tour; it’s a curated collection of my personal recommendations, including many of the spots that made me fall in love with the area over and over again.
What to expect:
Discover a charming and nostalgic side of Tokyo on a gentle guided walk through the Yanesen area (Yanaka, Ueno Sakuragi, and Nezu). Together we’ll wander through traditional streets, stop by small local shops, taste neighbourhood treats, and uncover a few hidden gems that make this area feel so warm and special. Along the way you’ll visit…
SCAI THE BATHHOUSE, a contemporary art gallery located inside a beautifully preserved former onsen
An ancient Himalayan cedar tree, quietly standing watch over the neighbourhood
Yanaka Ginza, for street food, local snacks, and charming little shops
The tranquil grounds of Nezu Shrine
A slow creative moment of journaling and matcha sipping at Miyano-Yu
It’s an unhurried walk designed to help you experience this nostalgic corner of Tokyo the way I fell in love with it - slowly, thoughtfully, and with plenty of time to notice the little details.

The route and timing will be dependent on weather, we will send any updates about changes.
