Asakusa walking tour - I had a great time sight-seeing Asakusa with Ryo. It was a nice mix of history and culture, humor, and everyday conversation. He was very interesting and provided great insight into everything we saw. His English was very good, as well. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re in the area. Thanks again for a wonderful tour!

Asakusa guru - Had an amazing Asakusa tour with Ryo. I've done my homework on the area and Ryo have not left any corner of interest untouched. Not only we saw all the places that were old and of interest, he gave us a full and very interesting narration about the symbolism of the place, so all made sense. I loved the tail about paper fan festival and a monument. It's hidden and if u don't know about it you will never see it Another beauty was the large sight in chinese...3 letters...'all sorrow and anxiety are from the heart'. You would never know if you were not told where to look. So thank you so much Ryo for a great time we had

Efficient and entertaining walking tour - Great walking tour with insightful comments on Japanese history and just enough humor from Ryo, our guide. I would never have gotten so much out of the district so quickly without a guide. Thank you, Ryo!
