"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.
The walk will focus on experiencing the richness of Japanese culture by visiting old craft shops, hidden shrines, and historic shops. We will also eat traditional Japanese desserts in a 7th generation 150 years old maker!
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.
