Message

Tokyo is a big city with tall and modernized buildings. But, the city will also show a completely different image when you walk through the city. You will find small shrines here and there, many small atmospheric alleys, which you cannot notice if you pass by a car or bus. Please join our walking tours and enjoy the old and new of the big city and the unique Japanese atmosphere.
