The Magic of Asakusa by Night - Evening Asakusa is beautiful — the atmosphere is completely different from modern Japan, with a sense of something mysterious and ancient. Our guide Yuki-San did their best to share the history of the temple, show us the best angles for photos, and point out the most scenic views from the observation deck. We also tried some very strong sake and had a wonderful evening. Truly one of the best experiences.

The intersection of history and mythology: Asakusa - Our night tour with Shinobu in Asakusa was a great blend of history and Japanese mythology that lent themselves to one another for the development of the area. Starting our tour at the Kaminarimon, we were swiftly transported to the underground streets of Asakusa. The juxtaposition further reinforces the closeness that the temple has with the neighbourhood. After trying Denki Brandy, we continued to see explore and enjoy the temple lit up. If you have some time one evening and are looking for a unique experience, please try this one!

- Keiko San is a very enthusiastic guide. She is very knowledgeable about Asakusa. She even told us interesting stories (about Skytree construction, Asahi building trivia, facts about Sensoji temple, among others). It's a great tour to take during the summer as temperatures tend to go down after sunset, and also if you want to know more about Asakusa.

Hidden treasure to discover - Keiko was a sincere and delightful guide. The tour started with a great vantage point view of the Skytree and Sensoji temple. Then we took an informative and historical walk through the area and learned and experienced valuable things. I highly recommend this walk.

Fun night tour - Hiro is an excellent guide. He is very kind and knowledgeable and I enjoyed his company as I was on the tour alone. Asakusa is much better at night because it is less crowded and I got to see some cool things. I definitely recommend this tour, it’s an excellent way to enjoy am early evening!

Asakusa evening guided tour visit - Keiko-san is a very nice, kind, enthusiastic and positive guide. We explored the area and I discovered buildings, restaurants, etc. I had not seen nor known about before. She told us about historical facts and gave us insight into the history of some old places. We received guidance about restaurants that are worth trying. She was really patient with our multiple stops along the way to look around and take pictures. The group was small which made the experience also enjoyable.

6 PM Temple guided walking tour Sensoji Temple - We had a wonderful tour with Mac, who explained so much about the Senso-ji Temple to us, including the difference between a temple and a shrine, that you place your hands together at a temple, you do not do the double clap as you do at a shrine… Things like that! The temple was closed for the evening when we got there, we had the 6 PM tour. It would be good to put in the 6 PM tour literature that you will not be able to enter the temple, we would have liked to have done that, also the ritual washing basin was turned off for the evening, and we wanted to go through that process. On the flipside, it was wonderful because the temple grounds were very peaceful and contemplative, and we appreciated some quiet after a busy day, so six of one 1/2 dozen of the other, I guess! All in all we had a wonderful tour and Mac was a caring and informative guide
