Tour description

Discover a hidden side of Tokyo, where the excitement of the city meets the charm of local life. Join me on a journey off the beaten path to uncover the secrets of a less-explored Tokyo that’s as vibrant and fascinating as the city’s famous hotspots. 

 

This tour will lead you to Nakano Broadway, a unique shopping haven full of quirky comic book stores, vintage collectibles, delicious street food stalls, and so much more. It’s a nostalgic dive into retro Japan, far from the crowds but full of character and surprises. 

 

The tour lasts around 2 hours, but if you’re a true explorer, you might want to stay longer to uncover all the hidden gems tucked away in its labyrinthine corners. Plus, it’s all indoors, so no worries about rain or the heat – just pure, uninterrupted adventure!
