Asakusa in Tokyo is a famous place mentioned in tourist guidebooks.
In my tours, you will not only visit Senso-ji Temple and other temples that are mentioned in the guidebooks, but I will also take you to unusual stores and interesting stores in the back alleys of the area.
In addition, since my tours take you to the Asakusa area, I sometimes take you to places that are a bit far from Asakusa station.
I may change the route depending on your stamina and other factors, but if there are no problems, I will basically guide you along the route.
In summer and other hot season, we will take a break periodically.

Do you know the Japanese yokai kappa? It is said that the kappa of the Sumida River, whose life was once saved by Kihachi, cooperated in the flood control work at this temple, and that those who saw the kappa mysteriously became prosperous in their business. This is one of the few temples where you can learn about kappa, one of the most famous yokai in Japan. Please take this opportunity to see it.
