Yanaka Ginza චාරිකා

The tour was super informative & Fun. Guides were very knowledgeable & passionate about the Area. Yanaka is one of the best places in Tokyo. would recommend any travelers

Yanaka Ginza is such a charming old shopping street! We tried fresh croquettes and some handmade sweets. Our guide was friendly and gave us lots of local tips. Really worth it, will recommend to my friends in HK.

We had a group of 15 people. I thought this was a little much as not everyone can easily hear the banter in between the information spots and not everyone has the same walking pace. Our guide Giulia did amazing though. She spoke loud enough for everyone to hear and patiently waited for everyone to gather around. It was clear she was very knowledgeable on the edo period, the palace grounds, shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and emperor Meji. The palace grounds are grand, but I think not as easy to manoeuvre for someone less able bodied. Be wary that you will have some steep inclines inside the walls. I particularly found the checkpoints, the edo castle ruins and the Japanese garden (which we could explore ourself after the tour) impressive. Giulia had a beautiful way of making me feel immersed and able to imagine what it would be like to enter the palace in the edo period. If you'd like more information about the imperial palace or the rulers of the time, I recommend taking the tour yourself!

ricky was very professional and we had a nice time. we felt the two hours tour was very short because of the interesting places we went too. ibhighly recommend Ricky to anyone taking this tour. itvwas enjoyable and memorable first day in Japan for us.
