Tour description
"All roads lead to Nihonbashi"
The area of Nihonbashi gathers the headquarters of some of the most important corporations in Japan. But don't be deceived by the modern look of its tall skyscrapers. This area is the oldest part of the city and gathers a unique blend of modern and old architecture.
Come for a history tour of the past, present, and future of the Nihonbashi area. Throughout the visit, we will see how the city has modernized while protecting its old traditions in a unique cultural blend.
The walk will focus on the richness of Japanese culture by visiting old craft shops, hidden shrines, and historic department stores. We will eat traditional Japanese desserts and check out a kimono shop!

In a rainy day, which always complicate a walking tour, Oca kept the tour interesting, sharing good information about Tokyo history and tips about places to visit and eat. Recommend 😉

We had an amazing tour with Oca today. His style and knowledge was the best of our numerous tour guides on our trip in Japan. After the tour there were a few guests that wanted to continue and Oca voluntarily obliged. If you are lucky enough to have Oca as your guide you will not be disappointed.
