[Opening in 2025. Currently available at a special price] This tour is held only on Fridays and Saturdays.

Your guide is a local resident who has lived in the area for 20 years and loves history and fun. Let’s explore the hidden history preserved in the cityscape together.

Minor changes including starting time are welcome！ Please let your guide know your requests in advance.

In the down town area, you can try some street food or enjoy a couple of dishes and drinks at an izakaya.

In the Naramachi area, join a table tea ceremony in a serene setting.

Once you’ve found your inner peace by the tea ceremony, take a tour inside a traditional Japanese house.

Then, enjoy a sake tasting at one of the area’s historic breweries.

Finally, (unless you're completely drunk), let’s take some fun photos while wearing traditional Japanese costumes.
