Traditional houses, temples and shrines in the Setagaya Ward.


If you are more interested in the everyday lives of the Japanese than in famous landmarks, this tour might be just right for you. On this tour you can see the true simplicity of the Japanese lifestyle that has often been described in literature. This tour will take you to a quiet neighbourhood which is an area little known to tourists. Spend some valuable time exploring residential neighbourhoods, visit the temples and shrines located among the residents' houses and spot the kayabuki yane, the traditional straw thatched roofs.
