Venture off the usual tourist trail and discover one of Tokyo’s hidden treasures: Kagurazaka, a delightful neighborhood situated between Shinjuku and the Imperial Palace. Once a historic geisha area, Kagurazaka now presents a unique mix of the old and the new—traditional shrines, cobblestone streets, French-inspired cafés, and a welcoming, local atmosphere.
The evening starts with a luxurious shabu-shabu dinner featuring wagyu beef and branded pork, served in a beautifully restored former geisha house. Accompanied by sake, this meal is both a cultural and indulgent experience—one that will be memorable.
After dinner, wander through softly illuminated alleys and visit peaceful shrines and temples that highlight Tokyo’s quieter side. Visit a long-standing tea shop that supplies five-star hotels, ideal for finding authentic souvenirs. The cobblestone path of Hyogo Yokocho provides a perfect photo opportunity, reminiscent of Kyoto’s historic streets.
Avoid the crowds of Shibuya or Asakusa—this tour offers a more personal glimpse into traditional Tokyo.
