Things to do in Ryōgoku Kokugikan

Both guides were very knowledgeable and helpful sharing not only about Sumo but Tokyo in general. Watching practice was an amazing opportunity. The Takasago stable is very talented!

Great bike tour through Tokyo! Atsushi was an enthusiastic guide and made the tour unforgettable. 🇯🇵🇯🇵

Absolutely beautiful experience! Feels truly magical to walk through the ‘Borderless’ world within. Highly recommend to all. Also super affordable. I do wish when I booked i realised the closing time was 10pm though (8:30pm slot) as the cafe doesn’t take orders past 9pm, so keep this in mind when booking!

I really liked it. we had it booked for 19:30. arrived at 19:40 and were lead right in. inside us really nice. I loved the water part. It felt nice to walk through the water parts and the whole thing was very comforting. Just know that you will have to take of your shoes for the first part.

my mom and I came here to get something to bring home as a souvenir that we could use and show off, and we did not regret it! the instructor Laura was very involved and patient with us, as it could be intimidating to deal with new equipment and we had to be careful to not break our rings in the process. I got a vintage coin from the Taisho era and it was a nice reminder of Japan. my mom got a vintage Singaporean coin from the 70s as it was nostalgic for her. both turned out comfortable and beautiful, we can't wait to show them off to our friends and family!

found this experience looking for things to do while staying in asakusa! thank you so much to mai and umar were so helpful and knowledgeable! definitely recommend 😊 also the building location is next to taito station if you have issues finding the address on google maps or apple maps!

Strolling through Asakusa in Tokyo, time seems to slow down. This is where the modern, bustling city meets traditional Japanese culture most closely. And there's no better way to experience Asakusa than by donning an exquisite kimono. **The Starting Point for a Journey Through Time** Stepping out of the kimono rental shop today, the crisp "clack, clack" of wooden geta sandals announces the official beginning of Asakusa's classical romance. **Kaminarimon and Nakamise-dori: Through the Thunder Gate and Along the Bustling Path** Passing through the giant red lantern, you walk along the lively approach to the temple. Dressed in a colorful kimono with elegant patterns, holding a freshly baked ningyo-yaki, you'll find yourself effortlessly blending into this ukiyo-e scene, rich with Edo-period charm. **The Lingering Incense of Senso-ji Temple** Standing before the main hall, you join the crowd in wafting the fragrant smoke over yourself, praying for peace. At this moment, the wide sleeves of your kimono gently flutter in the breeze, creating a beautiful contrast with the surrounding vermilion carvings and painted structures. Every snapshot is a stunning view. A gentle breeze blows, smoothing the delicate folds of the kimono. Here, a kimono is more than just clothing; it's a passport to an immersive experience of traditional Japanese aesthetics. I want to use this elegant posture to create a warm and memorable time in Asakusa. **Location: Asakusa**

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My husband and I had so much fun and it was one of our favorite things to do in Japan. Everyone was friendly, fun, and funny. I will definitely be doing this again in the future!
