Overview

Asakusa in Tokyo is a famous place mentioned in tourist guidebooks.
In my tours, you will not only visit Senso-ji Temple and other temples that are mentioned in the guidebooks, but I will also take you to unusual stores and interesting stores in the back alleys of the area.

In addition, since my tours take you to the Asakusa area, I sometimes take you to places that are a bit far from Asakusa station.
I may change the route depending on your stamina and other factors, but if there are no problems, I will basically guide you along the route.
In summer and other hot season, we will take a break periodically.

What to expect

  1. Senso-ji Temple
    30m
    First, visit Kaminarimon, Senso-ji Temple, and the five-story pagoda. You can also take pictures and experience Japanese culture.
    The history of Asakusa will also be explained at that time.
  2. Asakusa
    1h 10m
    Asakusa has many stores where you can buy kimonos on the back streets and eat delicious dumplings on the spot.
    Let's visit such stores and fill your stomach.

    The following places are especially recommended and must be included in the tour.

    Asakusa Sightseeing Center
    There is an observation floor where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Asakusa.
    Take pictures while viewing the Sky Tree and Asakusa.

    Asakusa Goldfish
    You can play the traditional Japanese game of goldfish scooping.
    There are also many goldfish goods.
    It is also a photo spot, so you can take commemorative photos.
  3. Sogenji Temple (Kappa Temple)
    30m
    Do you know the Japanese yokai kappa?
    It is said that the kappa of the Sumida River, whose life was once saved by Kihachi, cooperated in the flood control work at this temple, and that those who saw the kappa mysteriously became prosperous in their business.

    This is one of the few temples where you can learn about kappa, one of the most famous yokai in Japan.
    Please take this opportunity to see it.
  4. Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dogugai)
    30m
    It is a little far from Asakusa, but do you know Kappa-bashi bridge?
    It is a shopping street with many stores selling Japanese cooking utensils.
    How about some good quality Japanese cooking utensils as souvenirs?
    And if you are not interested, I can show you shrines, temples, and other shopping streets.
