Things to do in Asakusa

I booked this and the Kintsugi art class they offer and was so impressed. The staff were amazing and the place is amazing! My husband and I started with making chopsticks. They have a couple you can choose from that were included or you can upgrade to some other chopstick options. We went with the ones included. We worked with Umar and he was so patient and kind to explain each step of the process. For a small additional fee you can also have your name engraved in Japanese which we did! I would highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Tokyo!

ricky was very professional and we had a nice time. we felt the two hours tour was very short because of the interesting places we went too. ibhighly recommend Ricky to anyone taking this tour. itvwas enjoyable and memorable first day in Japan for us.

I arrived a little early and they were booming with people. it was a short wait (10 minutes) & Kamila came over, introduced herself, and walked me through the entire process. Her outgoing attitude and gentle spirit made this process beautiful for me. this has made my Japan journey worth it even more. I will always remember Kamila and this beautiful process in bringing a piece of Tokyo back with me.

My family and I rented kimonos and paid extra for photos taken by a photographer they provided. The kimonos were beautiful and the pictures turned out really nice. I'd 100% recommend it, and I'd suggest paying extra for the photos. The memories matter most, and having something beautiful to remember the day is worth it. The staff were also very helpful with picking the kimonos, helping us put them on, and choosing hairstyles that matched each kimono.

Staff was very friendly and was able to speak English. The piggies flocked towards us and laid upon our lap. It was fun to pet them and such a comforting experience. We recommend stopping by.

I visited with my kids, and it turned out to be a great family activity that everyone enjoyed. The experience was interactive, engaging, and kept both the kids and adults entertained from start to finish. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

I booked my kimono rental for Senso-ji Temple a week in advance, and when I arrived at the shop, it wasn't too crowded, but it wasn't empty either. Each row of kimonos had different styles, and they were all exquisite. There were quite a few staff members, and every one of them was very enthusiastic and polite. The Senso-ji Temple branch is very close to the temple, just a 2-minute walk, which is incredibly convenient. I personally really like this area; it's super lively, and there are plenty of people taking kimono photos.

I visited in mid-November at 4:00 PM. Dusk was starting around that time. After lining up to go up, I went straight to the highest observation level. The total queuing and waiting time was about half an hour. The sun set around 4:30 PM. Since other visitors were already waiting at the best spots, I had to stand in the second row. I stood at that spot for nearly an hour, watching the entire sunset until the sky turned completely dark and the beautiful night view appeared. Afterward, I took my time walking over to line up for the elevator down. There was already a large crowd waiting to go down at that time, so the entire visit took about two hours. There are also many shops to explore in the shopping mall downstairs; if you are interested, you can certainly spend more time at this attraction. One thing to note is that I went in mid-January, and viewing Mount Fuji at dusk during that time is very famous. You can check out my photos. It is well worth the admission fee and your time—go for it!

this was so much fun, it’s so nice to take an hour to yourself and create something for you. the staff were so incredibly lovely and helpful and kind. they had a variety of fabric and characters to choose from. highly recommend this experience! they offer to take photos for you during the experience.
