Kagurazaka is a hill of stone-paved alleys where geisha still work, with a French streak thanks to the institute and schools nearby. It’s the closest thing to Kyoto’s old quarters in central Tokyo. Tours here pair it with the Imperial Palace, or offer a geisha dinner, a rare chance in this city.
Explore Tokyo’s hidden gems on a small-group tour visiting the Imperial Palace, Kagurazaka alley, and historic sites with expert local guides for authentic insights.
