Join our local volunteer English guides for a fun 40-minute walking tour. Would you like to take a pleasant walk with one of our guides at Bunka Yokocho and Iroha Yokocho, both of which are traditional alleyways where locals and tourists enjoy socializing? The ambiance changes at dusk, as these retro alleyways create a nostalgic atmosphere that is totally unique. While on this evening tour, you will not only learn the local lore, but you will also get to meet the locals as well as other visitors.
