I enjoyed this tour so much, Aki our guide was very nice and informative, she really knows what she is talking about, I highly recommend this tour and be lucky to have Aki as your guide, she really makes the experience more beautiful and interesting.
it was fun BC and interesting to know about the temple.Our guide Rico was really sweet and told us a lot of good places around Tokyo.The place is usually crowded but we went at 6pm so it was not that crowded.The place was beautiful as well.Must go to place
Our tour guide Aki was SO knowledgeable and high energy! She knew everything you could want to know about the temple and shrine grounds; along with its extensive history. She gave us great recommendations and taught us so much!!
“Had a great experience on this walking tour! Our group was small, so we actually had two guides, which made it even better. They shared so much interesting history—things we definitely wouldn’t have learned on our own. I also loved that they gave us local recommendations and pointed out some great snacks to try. Highly recommend!”
the tour was a great experience. not only was I able to learn about the history of the temple being created but also how it still holds relevance for so many in Japan today. Yuuka was welcoming and inviting from hello. She had great recommendations for all the shops and it did not disappoint. I thought it would be a tour only but I was able to get souvenirs and must try food options. Yuuka always checked in on and really took intention to ensure I was having the best experience.
best money we spent thus far. Yuka and Ai were informative, fun and so accommodating and welcoming. such a grt 2 hrs of facts, food and fun. it was grt to be able to understand the history and get local insight into the temple and surrounding area. my fave was the 100¥ fortune. thanks Yuka and Ai. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The tour was great! I learned so much about the Asakusa temples and shrines. Our tour guide, Josh, was very informative on the history and traditions, and also took a great photos for us. I definitely recommend!
Keiko gave us an amazing tour! We walked around the Asakusa temple and the Thunder Gate area. Keiko is very friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us the history of temple and Japanese culture. Highly recommend!! 💙✨🐸
I had such a wonderful time on this 2-hour walking tour of Asakusa with Keiko. She is not only very knowledgeable about Japanese history and culture, but also an excellent storyteller who makes everything come alive. What I appreciated the most was how thoughtful and caring she was throughout the tour. From guiding us through the traditions of visiting the temple, to patiently explaining the meaning behind each ritual, she made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. We ended the tour with a lovely matcha experience (*fee not included in the tour, but worth to try!), which felt like the perfect way to close such an inspiring walk. Highly recommend Keiko’s tour to anyone who wants to discover Asakusa in a meaningful and heartwarming way!
We had the best time on Keiko’s Asakusa tour! She was so warm and friendly, and made us feel welcome right away. Walking around Asakusa in our kimonos felt like such a special experience, and Keiko’s stories really brought the history to life in such a fun way. She has such a sweet personality and explained everything so clearly that we felt like we were exploring with a friend. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan, and we’ll never forget it. Thank you, Keiko, for making our day so memorable! 🌸
