Discover the charms of Nihonbashi, the birthplace and heart of Edo-period townspeople’s culture.
Follow a single, unbroken route through time-honored shops you wouldn’t find on your own, and discover the many surprising stores that have been in business from the Edo period to the present day.
Believe it or not, there are several shops in the Nihonbashi area that have been in business for about 400 years since that time and continue to be popular with customers to this day.
We invite you to join us on a walking tour of the Nihonbashi area to discover the ultimate Edo natives and locals.
In just a two-hour walk, we’ll introduce you to the “living” Edo culture that you won’t find at historical sites or museums.
