YANESEN WALKING TOURS in English
YANESEN WALKING TOURS in English
We will explore historical sites, visit traditional hand-crafts shops
and navigate through the narrow alleys of Tokyo’s famous Yanesen
where is off of the typical tourists beat and is filled with fun.
What is Yanesen?
Yanesen is the collective name of 3 neighborhoods of Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi in the northeastern Tokyo.
This area was relatively unaffected by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and air raid bombing in WWII.
That is why its old-time atmosphere still remains and attracts not only Japanese but also foreign visitors.
