Overview

This tour focuses on Japanese sweets and experiences in Asakusa!
You will enjoy the famous ningyo-yaki (doll-shaped pancakes) and matcha (powdered green tea), which has been loved in Japan for a long time, and experience actually making "Amezaiku" (traditional candy sculptures) at a traditional Amezaiku shop near Sensoji Temple.

Amezaiku is a Japanese traditional culture in which candy is heated to about 90 degrees Celsius to soften it and then shaped beautifully with bare hands and scissors.
In this tour, you can actually experience Amezaiku at a specialty store in Asakusa, Tokyo, which has been preserving the high skills of Amezaiku craftsmanship!

After the Amezaiku experience, you will be dismissed on the spot so that you can continue to enjoy the Asakusa area.
