Asakusa, Kappabashi, Ueno Walking Tour: 3 oras para maramdaman ang kasaysayan at kultura ng 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!

Walang mas gaganda pa kaysa sa magpagabay sa isang lokal sa paglilibot sa lungsod. Isang tunay na kasiyahan na matuto tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Asakusa, Kappabashi, at Ueno mula kay Riho-san. Tatlong oras niya akong ginabayan nang may ngiti. Nagkaroon pa kami ng sapat na oras para matuto tungkol sa lugar at kumuha ng mga larawan. Huminto pa siya para sa mabilisang kape at pamimili ng souvenir. Mayroon si Riho-san na nakapagpapasiglang enerhiya kaya ang tatlong oras ng pag-aaral ay tila napakagaan. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito.

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!

Napakagandang karanasan ang aming naranasan, salamat kay Cris. Siya ay napakatalino, may malawak na kaalaman, palakaibigan, at talagang higit pa sa inaasahan ang kanyang ginawa para sa amin. Maingat kaming ginabayan ni Cris sa Kaminarimon, Nakamise Shopping Street, Senso-ji Temple, Hoppy Street, Kappabashi Kitchenware Town, at Ueno Park, nagbabahagi ng mayamang kasaysayan at kultura sa paraang madaling maunawaan, nakakaaliw, at hindi minamadali. Siya ay napakabait at napakapasensyosa, sinisigurong lubos naming nasiyahan at pinahahalagahan ang bawat hinto. Ang mas nakahanga pa sa amin ay pagkatapos ng tour, bukas-palad kaming tinulungan ni Cris na mag-navigate sa iba pang lugar na gusto naming tuklasin, kabilang ang Ginza at mga shopping spot, isang bagay na lubos naming pinahahalagahan at hindi namin inaasahan. Siya ay tunay na isang kahanga-hangang tao at isang pambihirang tour guide. Tiyak na irerekomenda namin siya sa sinumang bibisita sa Japan at tiyak na muli kaming makikipag-ugnayan sa kanya sa aming susunod na biyahe. Salamat Cris, sa iyong napakahusay na trabaho! Karapat-dapat ka ng higit pa sa 5-star rating. Sulit na sulit! ❤️

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.

Ako ay talagang mapalad na mag-isa sa tour kaya pakiramdam ko ay kami lang ni Miyuki, ang aking tour guide, ang naglalakad-lakad sa Asakusa, Kappabashi at Ueno! Umulan ng niyebe sa halos buong oras ngunit lubos kong nasiyahan sa tour. Maganda itong simulan kung ito ang iyong unang beses sa Tokyo lalo na kung ikaw ay nananatili sa lugar ng Asakusa. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

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
