Tur de plimbare Asakusa, Kappabashi, Ueno: 3 ore pentru a simți istoria și cultura Tokyo

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!

Nu există nimic mai frumos și mai bun decât să fii ghidat prin oraș de un localnic. A fost o adevărată plăcere să aflu mai multe despre istoria Asakusa, Kappabashi și Ueno de la Riho-san. Ea m-a ghidat timp de trei ore cu un zâmbet frumos. Am avut chiar și o scurtă pauză pentru câteva poze, o cafea și cumpărături de suveniruri. Recomand cu căldură acest tur.

Ea m-a ghidat pe parcursul celor trei ore cu un zâmbet. A fost suficient timp pentru a învăța despre loc și a face fotografii. S-a oprit chiar și pentru o cafea rapidă și cumpărături de suveniruri. Riho-san are o energie atât de înălțătoare încât cele trei ore de învățare par o briză. Recomand acest tur 10/10.

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!

Am avut o experiență absolut minunată, totul datorită lui Cris. Este incredibil de inteligentă, bine informată, prietenoasă și a făcut cu adevărat tot posibilul pentru noi. Cris ne-a ghidat cu atenție prin Kaminarimon, Strada Comercială Nakamise, Templul Senso-ji, Hoppy Street, Orașul Ustensilelor de Bucătărie Kappabashi și Parcul Ueno, împărtășind o istorie și o cultură bogată într-un mod ușor de înțeles, captivant și niciodată grăbit. A fost atât de amabilă și foarte răbdătoare, asigurându-se că ne-am bucurat pe deplin și am apreciat fiecare oprire. Ceea ce ne-a impresionat și mai mult a fost că, după încheierea turului, Cris ne-a ajutat cu generozitate să navigăm prin alte zone pe care doream să le explorăm, inclusiv Ginza și locurile de cumpărături, ceva ce am apreciat cu adevărat și nu ne așteptam deloc. Este o persoană cu adevărat minunată și un ghid turistic excepțional. O vom recomanda cu siguranță oricui vizitează Japonia și o vom contacta din nou la următoarea noastră călătorie. Mulțumim, Cris, pentru o treabă excelentă! Meriți mai mult de 5 stele! A meritat din plin! ❤️

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.

Am fost foarte norocos să fac turul singur, așa că am simțit cu adevărat că eram doar eu și ghidul meu, Miyuki, plimbându-ne prin Asakusa, Kappabashi și Ueno! A nins aproape tot timpul, dar mi-a plăcut foarte mult turul. Este o alegere bună pentru început dacă ești pentru prima dată în Tokyo, mai ales dacă stai în zona Asakusa. Recomand cu căldură!

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
