- Sogenji Temple (Kappa Temple) - Are you familiar with the Japanese yokai kappa? Legend has it that the kappa of the Sumida River, whose life was once saved by Kihachi, assisted in flood control efforts at this temple. Those who saw the kappa were said to mysteriously prosper in their business.
This is one of the rare temples where you can learn about kappa, one of Japan’s most famous yokai. Don’t miss the chance to visit.

In addition, since my tours take you to the Asakusa area, I sometimes take you to places that are a bit far from Asakusa station. I may change the route depending on your stamina and other factors, but if there are no problems, I will basically guide you along the route. In summer and other hot season, we will take a break periodically.
