Uncover the historical and culinary delights of Asakusa, once the heart of Edo, on an eight-hour guided walking tour!

Visit Tokyo’s oldest temple, Senso-ji, and the lively Nakamise Dori shopping area, then gain insight into Japanese culture by learning and playing traditional Taiko drums.

Wander to hidden temples and shrines beyond the usual tourist routes, and appreciate fantastic views of the Asakusa skyline.

A true highlight is the culinary adventure, with lunch enjoyed through visits to various Izakayas in a retro district favored by locals, followed by a stop at Asakusa’s famous “Kitchen Town.”

A local, English-speaking guide leads this outing, providing a cultural and historical journey complete with authentic Japanese food.
