Tokyo Backstreets: 3kg Parfait & 800-Meter Shopping Street

Uncover a lesser-known side of Tokyo in Musashi-Koyama! Your host knows this neighborhood well and is eager to share its charm. You’ll visit a supersized sweet shop with a GIANT 3kg parfait, sample street foods at a standing yakitori bar, explore one of Tokyo’s longest (800 meter) shopping streets, and explore the neighborhood on foot. Meet your host, KT. Growing up, KT spent her free time exploring her hometown in search of family-owned shops, quaint cafes, and hidden sanctuaries. This experience will not be a tour of your run-of-the-mill destinations, but a carefully curated selection of KT’s favorite spots–many of which hold special childhood memories. First, activate your sweet tooth by stopping at a specialty parfait shop. What makes this sweet stop so special, you ask? Oh, just the GIANT 3kg parfait on the menu… If you’re feeling brave or joining this tour with friends, this king-sized parfait will be one for the memory books. Next, stroll down Musashi Koyama Palm–one of Tokyo’s longest shopping streets (shotengai) spanning a jaw-dropping 800 meters. After you’ve boosted your step count, make a pit stop for something savory at a standing yakitori bar. Musashi-Koyama is located in Tokyo’s Shinagawa area, making it easily accessible from other parts of the city. This dynamic neighborhood is favored by locals and tourists alike for its unique charm and exciting attractions.
