Ueno, Yanaka, Sendagi Heritage Guided Walking Tour
Description
Step back in time and discover the traditional atmosphere of Ueno, Yanaka, and Sendagi on this half-day guided walking tour. Your local guide will meet you at your hotel and travel with you by public transportation, making your journey smooth and stress-free.
Start at the beautiful Nezu Shrine, famous for its red torii gates and azalea gardens. Wander through the retro charm of Yanaka Ginza shopping street, where small shops sell local snacks, sweets, and souvenirs. Don’t miss the Yuyake-dandan steps, a popular photo spot with sunset views.
Continue on to Kanei-ji Temple and the expansive Ueno Park, home to cherry blossoms, temples, museums, a zoo, and lively street performers. The tour ends in the Ueno area, where you may choose to continue exploring the park, museums, or zoo on your own.
