Program

Enjoy Asakusa's history and food
with a local guide

Asakusa is an old Tokyo neighborhood full of charm, history and great food. This tour covers Asakusa's main sights and shopping streets on foot in about 2 hours, and is ideal for curious travelers and first-time visitors alike.

The tour starts in front of the Kaminarimon police box. Spend about 15 minutes at the iconic Kaminarimon Gate, listening to your guide and taking photos.

Walk Nakamise Street
to Senso-ji and Asakusa Shrine

Spend about 30 minutes browsing Nakamise Shopping Street, lined with souvenir shops, then about 30 minutes exploring Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple. Loved for over 1,400 years, Senso-ji was once protected by samurai.

At the neighboring Asakusa Shrine, see how a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine harmonize in a uniquely Japanese way. If you like, you can make a small offering at the temple or draw an omikuji (fortune slip).

Discover street snacks and local specialties
in the backstreet shopping arcades

Walk through Asakusa Nishi-sando Shopping Street, Hoppy Street and Shin-Nakamise Shopping Street and soak up the lively atmosphere. Try sweet or savory street snacks like a local, and visit a professional knife shop, a fun samurai and ninja goods shop, and a chopstick shop perfect for souvenirs. The tour returns to the Kaminarimon police box where it started.
