A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourYasuko-san was a tremendous tour guide. She asked us lots of questions before and during our walk to Yanaka and altered the tour wherever possible to align with our interests. Yasuko-san was also fantastic at explaining details about buildings, sites, and people in Yanaka, as well as about Japan and its culture in general. She was also never shy in sharing her opinions, which we loved hearing; it was like spending time with a good friend.
