What To Expect
Asakusa
First, you will don a kimono—the traditional Japanese garment—at a kimono shop near Asakusa Station. There are many types of kimonos available, and you can choose your favorite pattern and color from a wide selection. Because kimonos have a complex structure and are difficult to put on by yourself, a professional dresser will assist you. While some vendors in Asakusa rent out cheap imitation kimonos for tourists, on our tour you will wear genuine, time-honored Japanese kimonos.
Asakusa
Pass through the Kaminarimon Gate and you’ll find Nakamise Shopping Street stretching straight ahead to the main hall of Sensō-ji Temple. Countless shops line both sides of this street, offering traditional Japanese sweets, souvenirs, and a variety of authentic wares. As we make our way toward the main hall, we stop to sample snacks and pick up mementos, all while soaking in the lively, old‑world atmosphere of this bustling thoroughfare. The scene feels as though you’ve stepped back to Edo-era Tokyo—over 200 years ago when samurai once walked these very streets.

5.00Even beginners can rest assured that the guide will assist them with everything from kimono rental to prayer manners. It was a great help to be able to take photos at Kaminarimon at a time when I was avoiding crowds. Eating around is just the right amount and you can enjoy a variety of flavors. This tour is perfect for those who want to know more about Japanese culture.

5.00It was a good experience to walk around Asakusa in a kimono that even Japanese people rarely wear! I thought it would be mostly foreigners, but it didn’t come to mind because people from rural areas were also participating. It was a great tour, eating delicious food and enjoying Asakusa!
arara was excellent !
