    The origin of Tokyo. During the Edo period, Asakusa was Tokyo’s main entertainment district, filled with kabuki theaters, geisha houses, and street performers. While much has changed, the spirit of festivity lives on — especially during the Sanja Matsuri, one of Tokyo’s wildest festivals. With its deep history and hidden gems behind every alley, Asakusa is best explored with someone who can explain the stories behind what you see. From samurai legends to snack secrets — let us show you around.
