From hidden izakayas to generations-old food shops and historic temples with taiko drum and fire ceremonies, Monzen-Nakacho has everything you could dream of in a Tokyo neighborhood – and more. On this afternoon into evening tour, we’ll explore this magical slice of old-school Tokyo, where the city’s ancient spirit and modern-day creativity live deliciously side-by-side.
The meeting point is Monzen Nakacho Station on the street by Exit 1 of the Tozai line.
Tokyo’s largest Hachiman shrine, founded in 1627. Known for its connection to sumo history (yokozuna stele) and vibrant monthly markets on the 1st, 15th & 28th. Expect striking red torii and festive vibes
A thoughtful contrast of old and new, this temple is famous for its Goma fire rituals and impressive wooden statues, plus quaint fox inari shrines on the approach
