Sensoji temple history and shopping for knives - Amy was a great tour guide. My wife and I were staying in the Asakusa area and very close to the Sendai temple, Amy helped us understand the history of the temple. To top it off, we saw the street in Asakusa which sold Japanese knives. We ended up buying several knives as gifts for our chef friends.

Excellent Asakusa/Knife district tour. - We had a wonderful tour of Asakusa with our tour guide Aki, who shared both the cultural history and great local insights. She also helped us source and buy some beautiful knives from Kappa-bashi street. We’d recommend this tour to anyone, especially at the beginning of your trip. Aki gave us great tips on other areas to visit throughout Tokyo….. so we are staying another day to for more in!
