5.00We had another great experience! Both my wife and I love history and appreciate learning from locals, and this tour definitely met our expectations. Sowa was very informative, took plenty of pictures, and even sent them to us afterward. He spoke excellent English and was extremely helpful throughout the tour.
A great way to get the local view of the area.

5.00We really enjoyed this tour; just the 2 of us with our guide Roka. A really nice guy who passed on a lot of interesting information about both the Senso-ji Temple and various street foods (a good variety by the way). We then walked down Kappabashi street full of kitchenware (buying 2 sake cups to use as egg cups at home!). We had time to visit the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple which was as calm and tranquil as the Senso-ji was busy and crowded (a much better experience). A great couple of hours.

5.00My wife and I had a great time on this tour with Sato. Not only were we able to try several foods along Nakamise, but Sato answered all of our questions and showed us the proper eitquette at Sensoji temple and Asakusa shrine. Our tour ended on Kappabashi street where we were explored the countless stores with kitchen supplies. We really enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Asakusa. If you’re looking to pick up gifts on your trip, this will be a great tour for you.
