What you can expect

  • Step off the tourist trail and explore Asagaya, one of Tokyo’s most charming local areas. In this small-group tour, your local guide will take you on an evening walk through retro shopping streets, quirky corners, and hidden gems.

    Walk through the Asagaya Pearl Centre Shopping Arcade, a charming covered shopping street that dates back to the Showa era. Learn about the history of the area, and see local speciality stores like wagashi (traditional sweets) shops, tea sellers, and quirky souvenir spots. Admire colourful lanterns and vintage signage lining the way.

    Try your hand at kingyo sukui, a traditional Japanese game often found at summer festivals. Enjoy the playful challenge of scooping live goldfish using a paper net — a nostalgic experience for many locals. No need to take the fish home!

    Take a short rest at a local wagashi shop or an old-fashioned kissaten (café). Sample seasonal treats like taiyaki, dorayaki, or cream anmitsu, and hear from your guide about the history and symbolism of Japanese desserts.

    Finally, step into a cosy, nostalgic izakaya and experience Japanese drinking culture first-hand. Enjoy two drinks (beer, sake, or soft drinks) and three local dishes while seated at the counter alongside regulars. A perfect way to feel like a local.
