What you can expect

  • Explore the lesser-known side of Tokyo on a guided tour of Shibamata, a historic town that retains its Edo-period charm. Walk through streets where modern life and traditional culture coexist, offering a unique glimpse into local life.

    Begin your journey by boarding a local train, immersing yourself in the daily routines of Tokyo's residents. Arrive in Shibamata, a town where the spirit of the Edo period is still alive. Stroll along the historic approach to the temple, lined with long-established shops and traditional houses, and learn about the faith and community culture cherished by the Japanese people.

    Visit temples, shrines, and retro shopping streets, and capture the essence of Japan in your photos. Participate in cultural experiences like collecting goshuin stamps or practising shodo calligraphy, creating lasting memories of your trip.

    Your guide, a local Japanese youth, will share insights into the area's history, daily life, and cultural background, offering stories and perspectives not found in guidebooks. Enjoy the opportunity to ask questions about Japanese university life, youth culture, and everyday values, making this tour a chance to connect with locals and gain a deeper understanding of Japan.
