The tour focuses on the "Yanesen" area of Tokyo, the collective term referring to Yanaka, Nezu and Sendagi. The district has survived the mass redevelopment projects seen elsewhere in the city and has retained the relaxing and nostalgic feel. While this area has become very popular with both locals and tourists in the last few years, parts of the itinerary will feature back alleys that does not even appear on Google Maps. Through the years of wandering around this area, I've managed to put together a course that covers the essence of this great neighborhood. Please note that this tour involves extensive walking. The area is mostly flat but there are a few slopes and stairs that cannot be avoided. The "Ya" in Yanaka means a valley or low-lying area, and the slopes surrounding it are a vital part to understand the historical background of this district.
We will start either at your hotel or at the Nezu Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line (Station C14). The course will include some highlights of the district such as: Nezu Shrine Yanaka Cemetry, including the grave of Yoshinobu Tokugawa, the last shogun The symbolic Himalayan cedar tree Scai the Bathhouse, a renovated communal bath Ueno Sakuragi Atari, reformed old homes Yanaka Ginza street Hebi-michi street, a meandering path built over a river There is also some alleys that I have found by accident which will be included, to add variation to your Yanaka experience. The tour concludes at one of the stations along the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, either Nezu or Sendagi.
