Tokyo live walk
First, we’ll visit the 300 year old Nezu shrine, which is my favorite shrine in Tokyo. I'll explain the history of the shrine and tell you some interesting stories about it. When you pass through the “100 red gate tunnel”, you’ll feel as if you were going back to the Edo era (17th to 19th century).
Secondly, we’ll walk around the Yanaka area, a part of Ueno where many temples and fashionable old shops are located. We’ll visit some ancient temples and learn their history, and we’ll also drop into some downtown pretty shops which are my favorites, and eat snacks if you like!
Ueno was one of the battlegrounds in the war that led to the Meiji Restoration in 1868. This conflict between the Shogunate and pro-Imperial forces resulted in the end of samurai society in Japan. I'll explain how the samurai changed their lives after the Meiji Restoration.
This tour not only offers you an enjoyable culture walk but also tells you about the end of the samurai as well as giving you an insight into the lives and beliefs of the common people in the Edo period.

Tokyo live walk
First, we’ll visit the 300 year old Nezu shrine, which is my favorite shrine in Tokyo. I'll explain the history of the shrine and tell you some interesting stories about it. When you pass through the “100 red gate tunnel”, you’ll feel as if you were going back to the Edo era (17th to 19th century).
Secondly, we’ll walk around the Yanaka area, a part of Ueno where many temples and fashionable old shops are located. We’ll visit some ancient temples and learn their history, and we’ll also drop into some downtown pretty shops which are my favorites, and eat snacks if you like!
Ueno was one of the battlegrounds in the war that led to the Meiji Restoration in 1868. This conflict between the Shogunate and pro-Imperial forces resulted in the end of samurai society in Japan. I'll explain how the samurai changed their lives after the Meiji Restoration.
This tour not only offers you an enjoyable culture walk but also tells you about the end of the samurai as well as giving you an insight into the lives and beliefs of the common people in the Edo period.
Other things to note:
・Please be sure to wear your comfortable walking shoes.

Made homemade gyoza from scratch
Let’s have a new coming back to Japan!!!!
Please send me date and time, I will make schedule.
I can host max 10-15 and book a studio.
We'd like to share making delicious homemade gyoza.
Normal gyoza, VEGAN and GLUTEN FREE to choose.
We will share recipes with you and teach you how to prepare the ingredients and materials. It is really healthy and easy to get ingredients in your country.
1. We will start by preparing the gyoza wrapper. As soon we made the dough, we will do the filling. After the filling, rolling the wrappers/sheets is a must.
You will learn how to shape gyoza by hand, not with molds. Once all the gyozas are done, we will cook on the hot plate. Gyoza can be done with various fillings. The ones we are going to do will use basic ingredients: meat, pork, and vegetables. If you are vegetarian, vegan, or Muslim, please let us know, and we will substitute with tofu. If you have food allergies, please let us know. From here, you will have learned how to prepare the flour, wrap, and cook. Enjoy eating gyoza as much as we do.
2. Once we finish making the gyoza, we will show you how to cook 3 different type of gyozas. 'Pan fried gyoza, Deep fried gyoza, boil gyoza'
It is easy and delicious for parties to normal daily dinner.
We are very excited to meet everyone, please write to us.
