Overview
Explore Tokyo's oldest temple on a private walking tour of Asakusa, led by a local guide dedicated to your group. Pass through the iconic Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) and lively Nakamise shopping street to reach Senso-ji, and discover a rare spot where a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine sit side by side.
Because the tour is private, the pace and focus are yours. Spend more time at the temple, wander through backstreet food stalls, or browse knife and samurai gear shops. Your guide adapts the route to your interests, whether traveling with children, low on energy after a long flight, or searching for the best street food.
Highlights include Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, explored at your own pace, a rare place where a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine coexist, local street food with tasting recommendations from your guide, a professional chef knife shop, and a samurai sword and ninja gear store.
Enjoy the full attention of a private guide focused on your group during the tour.
