Trace Tokyo's history by uncovering the stories behind ukiyo-e, paintings and woodblock prints that depict life during the Edo period, when Japan's capital, then called Edo, prospered. See the greatest works of the ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai on a tour of the Sumida Hokusai Museum with an expert.

Visit one of Tokyo's neighborhoods that inspired ukiyo-e artists to create their iconic masterpieces: Ryogoku, Asakusa, and Fukagawa, to name a few. Here, ancient Edo and modern Tokyo intersect, as stylish new establishments and well-preserved structures from bygone eras stand side by side.

Step back to the glory days of the Edo period on a dinner cruise aboard a yakatabune, a traditional pleasure boat where aristocrats of old wined and dined. Expect fantastic views of Tokyo Bay, a feast of a dinner, and free-flowing drinks. Or, get a feel of modern Japanese drinking culture at an izakaya  pub. Tokyo has no shortage of excellent options.

Tokyo districts that preserve the feel of retro Japan are known as shitamachi. Soak up this nostalgic ambience on a tour of Yanesen, the collective name for three neighborhoods (Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi)that comprise one of Tokyo's best-known shitamachi  areas. Brimming with culture and history, Yanesen offers a more authentic look into the local lifestyle.

Many of today's beloved Japanese dishes and culinary traditions were perfected in old Edo. Today, as Tokyo remains at the forefront of Japanese cuisine, traces of Edo still linger. At Yanesen, for example, try yabu  soba, one of Tokyo's top three soba styles: buckwheat noodles with a rich soy sauce-based broth.

No visit to Yanesen is complete without a stroll around Yanaka Ginza, a bustling shopping street that exudes quaint, old-school charm. Discover the area's eclectic shops and street food, shop for sumptuous delicacies, stroll past a mix of retro and modern cafes, and watch the locals go about their day on a Yanaka Ginza tour with a food expert.
            

For dinner, savor well-loved Edo-period fare at Asakusa Ichimon Honten, a rustic restaurant in a negima nabe, a hotpot dish of fresh leeks and fatty bluefin tuna. All ingredients are sourced from leading producers, and the liquor selection is excellent too.
