Itinerary
Step into old Tokyo as you explore Asakusa—home to historic streets, traditional shops, and timeless charm. This district offers a glimpse into Japan’s rich past and vibrant culture.
Built in 941 AD, Kaminarimon is the grand entrance to Sensoji Temple. Its massive red lantern and guardian deities symbolize protection and welcome for all who enter Asakusa.
Stroll down a vibrant lane filled with the aroma of fresh rice crackers and sweet ningyo-yaki cakes. Browse traditional souvenirs and local crafts as you soak in the lively atmosphere of Edo-era Tokyo.
Tokyo’s oldest temple, founded in 645 AD, Sensoji is a spiritual and cultural landmark. Walk through incense-scented air, admire the grand main hall, and take in centuries of history and tradition.
A hidden gem just off the main path, this retro-style alley blends Showa-era nostalgia with modern charm. Enjoy quirky shops, old-school snacks, and a quieter glimpse of local life.
A lively alley packed with local izakayas, Hoppy Street is known for its retro vibe, grilled skewers, and the iconic Hoppy drink. Join locals for a taste of post-war Tokyo nightlife.

Yayoi was amazing! She walked us through all of Asakusa Temple and even some extra side streets with cool things to do and pictures to take. She is very informative and funny! In addition she provided us with some tips for our trip to Kamakura. We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend touring with Yayoi.
Gulia was extremely knowledgeable and competent guide. Highly recommend this tour. Even though it was raining we still enjoyed ourselves.
The Sensi Ji Temple will most likely be crowded by the times this tour is offered but the shopping street stores are closed at 10 am so those parts were not what we expected but the guide was excellent. Maybe they should offer an earlier tour to avoid crowds or an evening tour to appreciate the lights at night.
Marie was wonderful in accommodating our mixed age group from 3 to OAP ! Would recommend!
