Asakusa seen by Hitomi - The visit “Asakusa Cultural Walk & Matcha Making Tour” with our guide Hitomi was a great time during my stay in Tokyo. Hitomi is passionate, warm and very funny. She introduced me to the history and secrets of Asakusa with enthusiasm, while sharing captivating anecdotes. The matcha preparation session was both fun and soothing. A perfect balance between culture, tradition and conviviality. I highly recommend this activity!

Visite Tokyo Akazuka - A varied tour with an attentive guide. Temple visit, matcha experience and okanomya lunch. The group was small, which is preferable.

Highlight of our Tokyo Experience - Shooon-san was incredibly kind and energetic. He anticipated our every need, and knew all of the exciting tidbits of information and cultural insight which we found to be very fun and educational. It was an action-packed 3 hours of pure enjoyment where we felt entirely immersed in Japanese culture. Shooon has a wonderful, welcoming and enthusiastic character. Our experience with him has been the highlight of our trip.

Memorable times in Asakusa - There were only 2 of us on this tour which made it seem like a private tour. Yuki, our tour spoke very good English, she was great at explaining the Japanese culture. The breakfast place was fantastic and Yuki was very to talk to. She has a wealth of knowledge and share some other great things to do while In Japan.
