Treten Sie zurück in das Tokio einer anderen Ära in Yanesen, dem historischen Trio der Viertel Yanaka, Nezu und Sendagi. Zwischen Tempeln, Schreinen und verwinkelten Seitenstraßen entdecken wir ein Viertel, in dem das tägliche Leben noch zu einem älteren Rhythmus summt.

Der Nezu-Schrein gilt als einer der ältesten Shinto-Schreine Japans, und während seine heutigen Hauptstrukturen im frühen 18. Jahrhundert errichtet wurden, sollen die Ursprünge der Schreine 1900 Jahre zurückreichen.
Yanaka wurde in der Edo-Zeit als Tempelstadt erbaut. Es gibt 117 Tempel in der Yanesen-Gegend 76 davon in Yanaka.
Der größte Teil Tokios verwandelte sich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, aber Yanesen bewahrte seine Atmosphäre – Tempel und Friedhöfe, enge Gassen, hölzerne Stadthäuser und ein Lebenstempo, das sich von der Modernisierung unberührt anfühlt. Seit der Edo-Zeit hat dieser Stadtteil Besucher angezogen, die Schönheit, Ruhe und ein gutes Essen suchen, und seine Esskultur hat sich auf verlorene Weise in anderen Teilen der Stadt entwickelt.

The tour was wonderful! Our guide Kan was charming, his selections of places to stop to try the food were outstanding and well timed, he provided many interesting background details and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you for the wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring the daily life and flavors of the city with Kan. It is travelers like you who help us support these traditional family-run spots and preserve their precious culinary craft.
This was a really nice relaxing tour of traditional Japanese foods, temples and traditions away from the crazy crowds of Tokyo while easy to access from downtown. It did not seem like we were walking very fast but we covered a lot of ground and dropped into many places to eat and drink - regular foods, delicious desserts, snacks, tea, alcoholic drinks. Our guide was very knowledgeable, fun and super nice. A really great overview of Japanese foods and introduction to the amazing people that make it.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to explore the quiet, daily life of Tokyo with us. We truly appreciate your support of the city's unsung heroes who work passionately to preserve these invaluable culinary traditions. It is an honor to share the stories of these masters passing their craft to the next generation.
Guide had an observer along and the pair were really delightful, adding different perspectives and history to the tour. We ate a lot and the onigiri has been the highlight of the trip foodwise. Would not have found otherwise. We wanted to try a number of dishes without stressing about where to go and we also were interested in temples and shrines so it was the perfect combo. We had a good time and really enjoyed Michelle (and Drago).

I really can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Michelle was an absolutely brilliant guide, so friendly and knowledgeable with a deep knowledge of and love for Japan, Tokyo, and its amazing and varied cuisine. I worried that 6 hours might be too long, but it flew past as we discovered delicious nigiri, one of the coolest cafes in Tokyo (in a former public bathhouse), delicate, scrumptious eel (I’m generally not a fan but believe me, you’ll want to try this one!), fresh fruit juice, mouth-watering mochi, and so much more. And the tour isn’t just about food. We also visited some beautiful temples off the beaten track, which gave us a rare opportunity to get a sense of Tokyo beyond the crowds. The real draw is Michelle, who brings everything together in the most exciting way. If you’re in Tokyo, do not miss this! It was the best thing we did in our 2 weeks in Japan.

We love culinary backstreets tours! This was an ambitious agenda, we really appreciated having a heads up that we would be walking and standing so much (more than 10,000 steps). However, we would have appreciated cutting one of the sesame snack stops which felt duplicative, a couple more stops for a seat in the shade, and more availability of water. Kan (spelling?) provided incredible, detailed historical and cultural information about the food, Tokyo, and Japan, in general. We were impressed with his conversational English and the incredible information and stories he provided.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed the rich historical stories and the connections made with the masters passing down their craft.
Absolutely amazing tour! WE ATE SO MUCH FOOD! I honestly wasn’t expecting g that amount, though everything g was so delicious that my tummy somehow made room. Our guide was just the best and we learned a ton about the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Our first full day in Japan - what a perfect introduction to the amazing city of Tokyo. Kan was a delightful guide - so passionate about the area’s history, the shop owners and chefs along the way and all the yummy food he introduced us to. A very well-paced and complete tour, and did I say delicious?! Culinary Backstreets is clearly a very professional company. I look forward to using them on other trips in different cities around the globe.
