Itinerary
Kaminarimon, or the "Thunder Gate," serves as the iconic entrance to Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo. Flanking the gate are statues of Fujin, the god of wind, and Raijin, the god of thunder. Its massive red lantern, suspended in the center, makes it a well-known and highly photographed landmark.
This lively shopping street, leading to Sensoji Temple, is packed with shops offering traditional Japanese snacks, souvenirs, and handcrafted goods.
As one of Tokyo's oldest and most renowned temples, Sensoji is dedicated to Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Its iconic Kaminarimon gate is a popular photo spot. ※ The main hall closes at 6 PM, so entry may not be possible after that time.
Located next to Sensoji Temple, Asakusa Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the three men who founded Sensoji. Built in the 17th century, it survived World War II and remains a symbol of harmony between Buddhism and Shintoism in Japan. The shrine is also known for hosting the famous Sanja Matsuri, one of Tokyo's biggest festivals.

Aki our tour guide was absolutely amazing! She was kind and informative! I would highly recommend this tour while in Tokyo!
Shin was informative about the spots we passed and about Japan in general (food, places to visit, etc.). When I asked Shin to be the model in my photos to perform a ritual inside the main temple, he welcomed the idea. Thank you Shin.
Shin is very informative and fun. It was a short trip for us this time but he made it work! Would recommend to my friends!
Shin very communicated and nice. You guys really good
Shin very informative, friendly and cheering!
Takumi was an excellent guide which made the. Evening walk highly enjoyable and informative. Thank you!!
Being a first timer in Tokyo can be intimidating, but having Mio as our guide made me and my partner feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. Mio was very insightful on every part of the tour, asked us questions and helped us understand the shrine and its history. Her English is immaculate and overall made us feel very welcome.
I was so glad to book this tour with guide Takumi. We had visited during the daytime but didn't have any context about what we were looking at. A nice, quick tour that gave great information!
This walking tour was simple wonderful. It was really lovely to have all the intricate details explained that we might have otherwise overlooked. Hana-san, who guided us, was so friendly and kind. She even was able to tailor the experience a little to us specifically as we went along. At the end of the tour we were planning to get dinner and Hana gave us a great recommendation for nearby. It was an incredible atmosphere and we are so grateful to have experienced this.
Mio was great, knowledgeable, bubbly and fun. Knowing the backstory to the wonderful temples, streets and culture has made my brief visit much more enjoyable. Thanks.
My friends and I were visiting Tokyo for a few days, but we were all worried about where to go and what to do. I am so glad that we decided on this tour! Not only was it informative, but it was fun and interesting as well. Our tour guide had a bubbly personality, and the overall atmosphere felt less like a tour and more like having a local friend guiding us around.
I had an excellent experience with Hana as a guide. She recommended some delicious dining spots and told me all about the history of Asakusa. 100% recommend.
We booked this tour for our anniversary and had a wonderful time as our guide was really knowledgeable. Japan was one of the places we wished to travel to, so not only completing the location but also gaining an unforgettable experience made it really worth it. I recommend booking this tour with GuideMe Japan!
it was a great experience walking around Asakusa! our guide Hanna let us see all the popular places and it was wonderful seeing Asakusa in the eveningl
Hana was our guide and she was very nice and informative about the history of Asakusa. The whole tour was very interesting so I highly recommend signing up for this tour!
I had a wonderful evening with Yusuke. He really showed me around the beautiful places of Asakusa. Also a very good photographer!
Thank you so much! I enjoyed being able to see the area without the stress and worry of finding our way around- so much fun and safe!
It was a fantastic day, fist time visiting Asakusa and was a bit nervous but the guide led me to a lot of places and made my day.
This tour was one of the best experiences of our lives! We had so much traveling across Tokyo and seeing all of the sites. I wanna join you guys next time.
Once in a life time experience to be able to soak in many historical locations in Tokyo. Something that can't really be achieved without locals who know the area and are eager to share the historical background with tourists. The guides were friendly and welcoming. Definitely a highlight of the trip!
A worthwhile trip to explore the Asakusa region during the night. I had visited during the day and it was a completely different experience, I am glad that I had chose this particular tour as it gives a different insight on Asakusa for visitors like me.
