Tokyo · ASAKUSA TOURS
Route, timing and booking details
Begin before Nakamise fills, then choose between history, street food and a broader east-side walk. The best route protects the quieter first hour around Senso-ji.
Catch a stylish Japanese dance cabaret in Asakusa, with a 1-hour story show, included drink, and photos with performers.
“intimate setting, incredible performances! all around a fantastic evening”
A full-day Tokyo coach tour bundling Meiji Shrine, Asakusa matcha and lunch, Skytree Tembo Deck, and a Tokyo Bay cruise.
“Momo our Tour guide very knowledgeable on the subject.”
Make maki and authentic sushi in Asakusa, near Skytree. English guide, quiz on sushi history, eat what you make in 100 minutes.
“Our sushi-making class was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our teacher, Hitomi, was absolutely amazing - so sweet, thoughtful, and patient. She made every step easy and fun to follow. The whole team had such positive energy, which created a really comfortable and happy atmosphere. It never felt rushed, and everyone was smiling, laughing, and truly enjoying the process together. I not only learned how to make sushi, but also felt like I was part of something special for the hour.”
Asakusa walking tour with an English guide, Sensō-ji and Kaminarimon, Nakamise shopping street, plus photo stops ending at Azuma Bridge.
“The walking tour starting near Sensoji Temple was a wonderful way to explore Asakusa. The route was well thought out, covering key highlights while also sharing lesser-known stories and local insights that added depth to the visit. Our guide Aya was knowledgeable and engaging, providing clear historical context along with cultural anecdotes that made the area come alive. The pace of the walk was comfortable, with enough time to observe, take photos, and ask questions without feeling rushed.”
Ride a rickshaw through old Asakusa, with shrine stops, Edo-era streets, and photo breaks like Skytree views.
“Our rickshaw driver Kazumasu-san took us around the Asakusa area. We saw the former cinema and temple on a hill. He showed us the scene from Demon Slayer (anime) which was really exciting for my twelve year old.”
A guided one-day Tokyo loop: Meiji Jingu, Imperial Palace, Odaiba, Asakusa, and TOKYO SKYTREE Tembo Deck, with lunch and bus transport included.
“This was a great tour. We hit some great areas and our guide was knowledgeable and cared about our enjoyment of the day. I wish I could upload the picture I took at sunset from the SKYTREE with Mount Fuji in full view. It was magical and I feel so lucky to have been there for that. I think this is a great tour for the first days in Tokyo to get a feel for the city. The only thing I would change is the lunch. I don’t think there needs to be a lunch provided, even for the same price. We went all of the way to the airport…”
Drive a go-kart in Asakusa, Akihabara, Skytree, and more with a guide, costume, and included photos and printouts.
“Really enjoyed the experience and glad we did it! The crew did a really thorough job in their safety briefing before we started. It was a great addition to have the ability to wear costumes provided by the shop. That added a really nice fun factor to the overall experience. The guides did a great job of keeping us together and it made it feel really safe while driving around—at sometimes—a busy Tokyo cityscape. Being able to see the city lights at night is definitely a bonus, I highly recommend reserving early so you can get a later drive time. It was great they also took and provided pictures throughout…”

“From the moment we stepped in, we were transported into the world of the samurai. The 2-hour experience flew by, filled with excitement, hands-on learning, and immersive storytelling. It wasn’t just a lesson—it was a journey back in time. You don’t just watch—you become a samurai. Holding a real sword, learning precise movements, and performing a traditional sword dance at the end made us feel like true warriors. It was thrilling, empowering, and something we’ll never forget. The guides were incredibly friendly and patient, making sure everyone, from adults to young kids, felt comfortable and engaged. They took their time answering questions and guiding us through each step with care…”
