Overview

Beyond Tokyo's skyscrapers and neon lights lies a collection of Retro Spots that preserve the atmosphere of the Showa era (1926–1989). From traditional shopping streets and historic temple towns to classic coffee houses and old merchant districts, this tour is designed for travellers who want to experience the charm of old Tokyo.

Visit four out of a carefully selected collection of Retro Spots one by one as you travel through different districts, each offering a unique glimpse into Tokyo's past. Walk streets featured in classic Japanese films, browse long-established family-run shops, explore areas where local traditions still thrive, and discover places that feel frozen in time despite being located in one of the world's most modern cities.

Whether you are interested in photography, history, architecture, local culture, or simply love nostalgic destinations, this tour offers an authentic look at Tokyo's Showa-era heritage.
