Iconic Photo Stop at Tobu Bridge near Tokyo Skytree

Your journey continues to Tobu Bridge, located near Tokyo Skytree, one of the best local photo spots in the area. Here, you can take beautiful photos of cherry blossoms with the Skytree rising in the background—an iconic Tokyo scene where nature and the modern city come together. Standing so close, you’ll truly feel the impressive scale of the tower. At 634 meters (2,080 feet), Tokyo Skytree was once the tallest tower in the world.

The number 634 can be read in Japanese as “Mu-sa-shi (Musashi)”, the historic name of the region that once included Tokyo. This reflects a uniquely Japanese tradition of giving numbers cultural meaning, linking the city’s history with its present.

Enjoy Local Comfort Foods at KiraKira Tachibana Shopping Street

Afterward, travel with your guide to KiraKira Tachibana Shopping Street, a nostalgic neighborhood arcade loved by local residents. Here, you can enjoy everyday Japanese comfort foods such as coppe-pan (soft Japanese sandwich bread), a variety of prepared side dishes, and traditional sweet taiyaki filled with red bean paste. These familiar local foods offer a simple and approachable way to experience Japanese daily food culture—just like the locals do.

Lined with small family-run shops, the street has a warm, old-fashioned atmosphere that feels very different from major tourist areas. With your guide’s explanations, you’ll gain insight into how shopping streets like this support local communities and daily life in Japan.

Tour Conclusion

The tour concludes here. Guests who wish to return to Tokyo Skytree or back to the hotel may do so together with the guide, ensuring a relaxed and stress-free end to the morning.
