Skip Shibuya and discover a quieter side of Tokyo. 👀

In Yanaka, stone pathways lead to centuries-old temples, family-run shops and peaceful neighbourhood streets, while the vermilion torii of Nezu Shrine adds a splash of colour along the way.

It’s the kind of Tokyo where you can slow down, explore on foot and see how traditional neighbourhood life blends with modern daily life.

MASSIVE rock oyster at Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan!😝🇯🇵

Meiji Jingu and Harajuku are separated by one bridge, and they could not be more different 🌳🎀

This is exactly why it became one of our very first walking tours 🚶‍♂️

One side: Meiji Jingu.
A forest of 100,000 trees, more than 350 species, every single one donated from across Japan and planted by volunteers back in 1920 🌲🙏
It feels ancient, but it’s completely man made 🤯

Cross the bridge and you land in Takesh*ta Street 🎀
Colour, noise, crowds, crepes 🍓
Sweet treats and savoury snacks in every direction 😋🍡

One bridge. Two completely different Tokyos 🤫🇯🇵

That contrast is the whole point, and honestly it is the fastest way to understand this city 🙌

Tag whoever you are coming to Tokyo with 👇 and if you want to walk it with us, the tour is on our website, link in the bio 🤗

Everything hanging on this gate was a gift, and the donor list is wilder than you think 🎁⛩️

Hozomon runs on generosity. The giant red lantern is from Kobunacho, a Tokyo merchant district that has renewed it for centuries 🏮
The bronze lanterns came from the uogashi (the old fish market community) with their name written in gold right on the side 🐟
The 4.5-metre waraji sandals are woven and donated by the town of Murayama in Yamagata, roughly half a tonne of straw renewed every decade or so 🩴

And the face above the treasure doors? 🤔
Yonetaro Otani, the businessman who paid to rebuild the whole gate in 1964 after it burned down in the war 🙏

Tag someone who would absolutely try to open the treasure gate, and follow for the Asakusa stories most tours skip 😂👇

The best thing I eat at Tsukiji is not seafood 🍡

One bite and you forget you are standing in the middle of a fish market 😅

Soft mochi, dusted in starch and sweet matcha flavored white bean paste 🤤
Cold, chewy, barely sweet.
Gone in about four seconds 😂

For ¥500 its a steal, and every stall in the outer market runs its own line up 🍓🍈

The move: do your seafood first, then eat your way through the daifuku on the way out 🙌

Save this for your Tsukiji morning 💾 and comment which flavor you’d want 👇
