Asakusa, Kappabashi og Ueno-vandretur: 3 timer med fokus på Tokyos historie og kultur

We had Haruhiko “Sunny” Tamura as our guide, and he was wonderful! This tour was the perfect mix of cultural learning, sightseeing, shopping, and eating. Sunny did a great job explaining the meaning and stories behind the places we visited. He even brought illustrations to explain customs like how to properly clean our hands and bow, which made learning about Japanese traditions fun and memorable. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and down to earth. His English was excellent, and we had no problem understanding him or asking questions. He gave us great shopping tips, helped us pick out a few shops he thought we would enjoy, and gave us excellent recommendations for lunch. It felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable local than following a typical tour. We learned a lot and had a great time. I would absolutely recommend Sunny and would definitely book with him again!

Der er intet bedre end at blive guidet rundt i byen af en lokal. Det var en fornøjelse at lære om historien bag Asakusa, Kappabashi og Ueno af Riho-san. Hun guidede mig gennem de tre timer med et smil. Vi havde endda tid til en kort pause for at tage billeder, drikke kaffe og købe souvenirs. Jeg kan varmt anbefale denne tur. Riho-san har en så opløftende energi, at de tre timers læring føles som en leg. 10/10 anbefaler denne tur.

I had a pleasant experience on this tour as a solo traveler. My guide, Gwen, was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts and stories about the places we visited. Since I was the only guest, the tour was relaxed and never felt rushed, and we completed the itinerary on time. I was initially hoping to have a local Japanese guide, as I was particularly interested in learning about Tokyo from a local perspective. Still, Gwen was very knowledgeable about the area and did his best to make the tour informative and enjoyable. Overall, I learned a lot and enjoyed exploring Asakusa, Kappabashi, and Ueno. Thank you, Gwen, for the great tour!

Amazing guide! Friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole trip fun and memorable. One of the best tour guides i’ve had. Highly recommended!

Vi havde en helt vidunderlig oplevelse, alt sammen takket være Cris. Hun er utrolig klog, vidende, venlig og gjorde virkelig en ekstra indsats for os. Cris guidede os omhyggeligt gennem Kaminarimon, Nakamise Shopping Street, Senso-ji-templet, Hoppy Street, Kappabashi Kitchenware Town og Ueno Park, og delte rig historie og kultur på en måde, der var let at forstå, engagerende og aldrig forhastet. Hun var så venlig og meget tålmodig og sørgede for, at vi fuldt ud nød og værdsatte hvert stop. Hvad der imponerede os endnu mere var, at efter turen sluttede, hjalp Cris os generøst med at navigere i andre områder, vi ønskede at udforske, herunder Ginza og shoppingsteder, noget vi virkelig værdsatte og slet ikke forventede. Hun er en ægte vidunderlig person og en enestående turguide. Vi vil helt sikkert anbefale hende til alle, der besøger Japan, og vil absolut kontakte hende igen på vores næste tur. Tak Cris, for et fremragende stykke arbejde! Du fortjener mere end en 5-stjernet vurdering. Så det værd! ❤️

I had a fantastic tour with Kirill! Not only was he very knowledgable about the sites we visited but also a very good communicator, the standout of the tour for me was visiting Ueno Park and getting the all too forgotten historical backdrop to the "Last Samurai", Saigō Takamori and the features of the park that are in contrast to him. Kirill also gave plenty of time for shopping around Kappabashi and getting refreshments throughout the duration of the tour, the latter was much needed on a hot summer's day in Tokyo! I would also like to highlight that Kirill knew some great hidden gems, some which were in plain sight but get bypassed and some hidden away, but I cannot spoil what those are! I highly recommed this tour for those who are genuinely interested in learning more about the area and Japan's History as a whole, the end point being Ameyoko and Ueno Station works great with any further itinerary for the day.

Jeg var så heldig at tage turen alene, så det føltes virkelig som om det bare var mig og min turguide Miyuki, der spadserede rundt i Asakusa, Kappabashi og Ueno! Det sneede det meste af tiden, men jeg nød virkelig turen. Det er en god tur at starte med, hvis det er din første gang i Tokyo, især hvis du bor i Asakusa-området. Kan varmt anbefales!

We had such a wonderful tour of Asakusa with Hiroko! She was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, making the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. We learned so much about the history and culture of the area while discovering some beautiful spots we might otherwise have missed. Hiroko was a fantastic guide, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo!

I had a wonderful morning with Naoko! She made sure to be easy to find, explained the history and culture well - especially to at the local temples. She also made a point to adjust to my specific interests without me asking. I could not have had a better first day in Tokyo!

Our guide, Hiro, was friendly, informative, and very accommodating. He explained many historical facts that we would not have known about what we were seeing. He demonstrated how to behave at shrines and temples. He also helped me to find a particular knife shop in Kappabashi, which was truly appreciated. I would recommend booking this tour for any first-timer to Asakusa
