What to expect
Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)
30m
Let's start your tour at the famous Kaminarimon Gate and stroll along Nakamise Street. As night falls, the shop shutters close, revealing beautiful and colorful murals depicting traditional Japanese festivals. With the daytime crowds gone, the street is wide and quiet, making it safe and easy to explore even with a wheelchair or stroller.
Senso-ji Temple
1h
Let's take a stroll through the magnificent grounds of Senso-ji Temple. The nighttime highlight is the breathtaking illumination. The beautiful five-story pagoda, shining against the dark night sky, is particularly stunning. While the main hall's doors are closed at night, the sacred Buddhist statue inside has been hidden in a box for over 1300 years. Even daytime anyone cannot see it.
Next door, at Asakusa Shrine, a guide will provide an interesting explanation of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism in Japan. They will carefully answer any questions you may have about Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples.
The guide will point out fascinating anecdotes, history, and hidden spots that you would definitely miss on your own. You can also try your luck by drawing a traditional "omikuji" (fortune slip), available 24 hours a day.
Asakusa
30m
After leaving the temple grounds, we'll head to the historic Rokku district, Tokyo's traditional entertainment hub. As we stroll through the neon-lit streets, I will introduce you to some of the best local restaurants and hidden pubs, giving you great ideas for dinner and drinks.
