@TOKYO | 1–6 people | Private Tour

Love the traditional atmosphere of Asakusa or Kyoto? Discover a quieter side of old Tokyo where history, culture, and local traditions come to life without the crowds.

Step into the world of Edo-period Japan as your private guide leads you through Fukagawa, one of Tokyo's hidden historic neighborhoods. While many visitors head to Asakusa or Meiji Jingu, Fukagawa offers a more peaceful and authentic glimpse into Tokyo's past.

Choose to begin your experience dressed in a traditional kimono, professionally fitted with hairstyling. Walk through life-size recreations of Edo-period homes, shops, and streets while learning how everyday life over 150 years ago shaped the Tokyo we know today.

Continue to Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple, an active Buddhist temple where centuries-old traditions are still practiced. If your visit coincides with the sacred fire ritual ceremony, you'll witness one of Japan's most dramatic ceremony rarely seen by international visitors.
