Tokyo Ginza Deep Back Alley Walking Tour
What do you imagine when you hear the word “Ginza”? A shopping district lined with luxury brand stores? A gourmet district lined with high-end restaurants? All of these are true, but in fact, Ginza is exciting “backbehind the scenes” as well !
This is a two-hour walking tour of Ginza's six back alleys. There are hidden shrines and popular stores in the back alleys. You walk around the glamorous “front” side of Ginza while experiencing its history, and once you step into the back alleys, you can experience the maze-like “back” side of Ginza!
*This tour is not recommended for those who are not confident in their physical strength or have weak legs and hips, as it is a two-hour walk. Please wear comfortable walking clothes and bring drinking water in summer. Kabuki viewing is not included in the tour.
