Next, we'll stroll through the city center, including Taisho Roman Street, where you can see buildings over 100 years old and get a sense of life in the 1910s and 20s. We'll pass the black houses of the merchants in the Ichiban-gai district, reflecting the Edo period. Our next stop will be the Toki-No-Kane bell tower, a symbol of the city from the 17th century.

Finally, we'll stroll along Kashiya Yokocho, a street with stores selling traditional Japanese sweets and enjoy a local snack. After the snack, we'll end the tour on Kashiya Yokocho street, and you will return to Tokyo on your own.
