Enjoy the journey through Tokyo's historic heart with our Senso-ji and Surroundings. This experience invites you to delve into the cultural richness and traditions of Asakusa.
Begin your exploration at Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple and a symbol of resilience and renewal. Witness the grandeur of the Kaminarimon Gate, adorned with a massive lantern, and immerse yourself in the temple's serene ambiance.
Stroll along Nakamise-dori, a bustling street lined with traditional shops offering local snacks and crafts. Explore the vibrant and lively atmosphere of Asakusa, where history and contemporary life coexist harmoniously. Not far from Senso-ji an amazing street unfolds: Kappabashi is lined with stores selling everything related to restaurants, from knives and ceramics to food samples and uniforms.
We will share the legends and rituals associated with Senso-ji, providing insights into Japanese spirituality and cultural heritage. Whether you seek history, tradition, or a taste of local life, this tour promises an unforgettable journey through Tokyo's iconic district.
