History and culture brought to life - Great tour with Hina! We learned so much about Shinto and Buddhism in Japan, etiquette in visiting shrines, and local culture. Very informative and enjoyable tour.

A memorable tour experience my husband and I will never forget! - Our tour guide Hina was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable - my husband and I were ecstatic to be able to not just enjoy the fun matcha and okonomiyaki making, but also to chat about our trip and general life things with Hina. It was such a fun and laid-back tour that was very much welcome as it was our first trip to Japan and we were feeling a bit isolated trying to figure everything out in our first week. We can't thank Hina enough and we definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get an introduction to the cultural significance of Asakusa, but also wanting to have a casual fun time, too!

Best tour ever! - This tour was absolutely perfect. We were unfortunately late due to the rain and traffic and was afraid we missed our tour but he waited for us. The trip was very personable, not only did we get the historical background on the temples but he also answered all our questions about the Japanese culture. I definitely recommend.

A fabulous tour despite the challenges of excessive heat and crowded streets - Despite it being a swelteringly hot day when the Asakusa Samba Carnival was being held we had a fabulous guided tour. Noriko was brilliant, walking us through unbelievably crowded streets at an appropriately relaxed pace to the temple and pagoda and explaining the cultural and historical significance of these buildings. The tour included a fascinating macha tea making demonstration, and culminated in a delicious Japanese meal at a traditional Japanese restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience despite the challenges of the crowds and heat. Very many thanks Noriko for making our day so memorable. Jayne & Dave

Matched with Matcha - Had a great tour with Hiroshi around Asakusa. Thoroughly enjoyed the Matcha experience and making our own okonomiyaki for lunch. Hiroshi was very informative and interesting telling us not only about the history but also everyday life.

Throughly Enjoyable & Informative - Loved this culture walk. Hina was wonderful she shared all her knowledge with us and we learnt so much about Japanese culture. She was fun and spoke fluent English. She even helped us buy the correct train tickets back to Shinjuku. Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour - We had a great time. Mai was very informative and gave us a lot of information about the shrine and the neighborhood, the food, and other things to see in Tokyo. Asakusa was a fascinating cultural experience and opportunity to see local businesses. We learned a lot about local culture and the Shinto and Buddhist faiths.
