    Lax was an excellent guide! His English is very good, so we could understand each other well. He was incredibly knowledgeable; rather than just telling us the names of the locations, he was able to go very in depth into the cultural history. He was able to answer all of my questions — even things that other Japanese friends don't know the answer to! I was really happy with our tour of Asakusa, I feel like I learned a lot. I would not have been able to appreciate Asakusa as much if I went on my own. Thank you!
