Discover the traditional side of Tokyo on a guided walking tour of the Ningyocho and Nihonbashi neighborhoods. Visit a variety of shops and learn about the history of the area. Sample local snacks and sweets along the way.
Meet your guide in the neighborhood of Ningyocho, a district known for its old traditions and, as you’ll soon discover, some very tasty treats. Visit several shops that have been around for over 100 years, many of which are still family-owned and operated and specialize in unique goods made right here in Japan.
Try some Ningyoyaki cakes, a true Tokyo specialty. This is a small sponge cake with sweet red bean filling and made in different shapes. Visit a shop that specializes in a traditional snack: senbei (rice crackers), a favorite in many Japanese households.
There are many other shops selling Japanese sweets, snacks, or drinks around this street. We especially recommend the Wagyu beef sukiyaki croquettes made by the famous sukiyaki restaurant Imahan.
On a small street lined with izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) where neighbors stop by, there is a Japanese-style hotel, an old-fashioned ryokan. Your Tokyo tour will next lead you to one of the eight shrines where virtue, longevity, learning, and wealth are worshipped.
Once you’ve exhausted Ningyocho, visit another neighborhood nearby, Nihonbashi. The district of Nihonbashi was a hub for merchants during the Edo period. Today, it is predominantly a financial district that houses trading firms and even the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Although Nihonbashi is very much a modern neighborhood, it features many traditional Japanese shops hidden in its alleyways and even within its department stores. Visit a Japanese traditional Washi paper store that was established in 1653 (the Edo Period).
Browse through their museum to watch archives that contain thousands of ancient documents from 360 years of history and Japanese traditional paper. Purchase high-grade handmade paper products and fine products used by discerning artists from all over the world.
Pass by "Avatar Robot Cafe", an experimental cafe where employees who have difficulty leaving the house provide services by remotely controlling a robot. Discover a toothpick shop that has been in business since 1704, where you will be able to check out delicate handmade toothpicks, plus other handmade items carved from Kuromoji or Lindera umbellata trees.
Also, visit the kitchen knife shop, brush shop, gold flake shop or Dashi (soup stock) Shop.
