Immerse yourself in Tokyo's ancient history with this fantastic guided tour of the enchanting Asakusa district. You'll discover a corner of the city filled with ancient temples and Japanese tradition.
Asakusa Guided Tour
We'll meet up at 11 am next to the Asakusa Station (Ginza line) to begin a walking tour of Asakusa, one of Tokyo's most traditional and historic neighborhoods.
During the guided tour of Asakusa, we'll immerse ourselves in its magical atmosphere, a blend of modernity and tradition, and visit the Sensō-ji Temple, the oldest and most important Buddhist shrine in the capital of Japan. Nearby, we'll find Nakamise Street with its more than 300 years of history, and Kappabashi Street, an avenue that will catch your attention with its many stalls full of kitchen utensils.
From here, we'll walk to the Kaminarimon Gate, whose name in English means Gate of Thunder. You can have your photo taken with the monument before moving on to the optional activity of your choice, whether it's a rickshaw ride through Asakusa or a traditional tea ceremony.
