Tour Overview

On a 'no fuss' walking and street food jaunt, leave the commotion of Tokyo's well-trodden tourist hubs and venture into the charismatic pockets of West Tokyo.

Dive into the charming Tokyo neighborhoods of Nakano and Koenji, where we'll discover the twisting alleyways, alternative subcultures, and casual eateries that give these unique enclaves their distinct character.

As we walk the nostalgic'shotengai,' boisterous eating and drinking 'yokocho,' and contrasting calm of the residential backstreets, feast on a tailored selection of everyday eats from local vendors, independent markets, and Japanese franchises.

Gain a detailed understanding of street life, as well as the confidence to take on Tokyo's thriving dining scene as a neighborhood pro. Local eating and drinking hotspots, as well as suggestions for offbeat neighborhoods to explore, will be provided as we conclude our outing with a drink at a traditional 'izakaya.'

So, lace up your walking boots, bring a hungry appetite, and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty on this Tokyo walking and street food tour.
