Discover a hidden side of Asakusa that most people don't know! Our guide, a night-time Asakusa specialist, will take you on a relaxing walking tour away from the daytime crowds, immersing you in the magical atmosphere. Asakusa at night is a perfect spot for photography.

The tour begins with a stroll through the Asakusa underground shopping arcade. This area is difficult to access without a guide, but it retains the atmosphere of old Asakusa and offers opportunities to interact with locals.
You can enjoy “Denki Brandy,” a unique blended whiskey born in Asakusa during the Meiji era.
Even if you don't drink alcohol, don't worry—we also have non-alcoholic options available!

Then, visit the beautifully illuminated Sensoji Temple, learning about its history and significance as you wander through the tranquil grounds.
