Reviews
June was our guide along with another sweet young lady (but I can’t remember her name). My friend and I both enjoyed the tour. They had a photo book to provide additional information. They shared information on the differences between a shine and temple. There were so many fascinating facts.
This 2 hour walking tour in the oldest temple and oldest market are not boring at all because local English speaking tour guide Keisuke was so friendly and he told me the history of this temple and market. Good Experience.
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!! 💙✨🐸
