Asakusa - Great introduction to Japan! - Very friendly and fun tour guide. She spoke English wonderfully and we had some improvised adventures and interesting conversations.

Kayoko is great :) - My guide, Kayoko, was very kind and knew a lot about the history of the shrines and temples in the area. She showed me and my father how to properly pray and get fortunes. We went with her around the shopping districts. She was incredibly informative about the history of the area. We loved her positive attitude, and willingness to flex the tour to things we were interested in. 10/10, we would love to see her again!!

Great experience - This tour was wonderful to go through and learn the history of the Asakusa Semsoji Temple. Our tour guide Chi Haru, a.k.a. ‘Sunny’ was a great tour guide and took us through even the shopping districts to point out the best eating spots for lunch dinner and desserts! She was a wealth of knowledge and super helpful on the area. Would highly recommend doing this tour!

Many thanks! - Thank you for the wonderful and informative tour. The guide, Yoshiko san is so accommodating with our questions and even taking our photos. She explained the historical and religious background of the area as well as the meaning and purpose of Japanese souvenirs in the shops. It’s worth it.
