About this activity

Kagurazaka is one of those neighborhoods that changes completely when you step off the main street. Known for its long-standing French community, it is one of the few places in Tokyo where French bakeries and cafés sit alongside traditional restaurants, small shrines, and narrow stone-paved alleys. Once a major geisha district, the area still carries traces of that history. Walking with a Local Expert, you'll learn how these streets were used and notice details that are easy to overlook on your own.

Hidden among the alleys is a small heart-shaped stone set into the pavement. Finding it has become a local treasure hunt, and many people walk these streets for years without spotting it. We know where to look. As we explore, we'll share stories about the neighborhood's past, its changing character, and the traditions that continue to shape it today.
