Our guide Sui was very knowledgeable, experienced, accommodating, friendly and helpful. The tour lasted for 4 hours but felt like it was short because we were having a great time. We learned a lot during the walk. Highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning the culture and history of Tokyo's charming Yanaka town ☺️.

Sui was an excellent guide and gave many recommendations on where to shop or eat. We felt like we got a taste of the real Tokyo and we learned a lot about Japanese people's attitude towards religion and the history of the area. Sui also helped us take many excellent pictures. We would recommend this tour to friends and family.
