Highlights

Explore Senso-ji, one of Tokyo’s oldest temples, and Asakusa, where the atmosphere of the Edo period lives on, on this English-guided walking tour. Pass through Kaminarimon, stroll down Nakamise Street, and visit Senso-ji and Asakusa Shrine. Your guide shares the history and legends of Asakusa, from the geisha district and hidden shrines to the area’s changes from the samurai era to postwar reconstruction. The tour runs in a small group of up to 10 people.

Program

Pass through Kaminarimon
into the old streets of Asakusa

Meet your guide in front of the Starbucks near Asakusa Station and head to the towering Kaminarimon gate. Spend about 30 minutes around the gate taking photos and hearing the history and legends of Asakusa, once the heart of Edo-period Tokyo.

Browse traditional shops on Nakamise Street

Walk along Nakamise Street, lined with traditional shops and colorful lanterns, for about 20 minutes. Soak up Asakusa’s traditional atmosphere amid the aromas of local sweets and street food.

Explore Senso-ji and Asakusa Shrine

Spend about 30 minutes exploring Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple founded in the 7th century, then visit Asakusa Shrine for about 30 minutes and take photos. Along the way, your guide tells stories of the geisha district, hidden shrines, and Asakusa’s transformation from the samurai era to postwar reconstruction, and you will stop at lesser-known spots that tourists often miss. The tour returns to the Starbucks where it started and ends there.
