Jouw ervaring

Be your own guide in Asakusa

If exploring a new place without a guide or a group of people is more your speed, this tour is just for you. With an audio guide, offline maps, and recordings by a professional historian, explore the best of what Asakusa has to offer without the fear of missing out on any important information. Start your tour with Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest and one of the most significant Buddhist temples. Enter the iconic Thunder Gate with the massive red lantern marking the entrance before moving on to the main hall, which houses Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of mercy.

Eating, shopping, and some more exploring

After you visit the temple, you may take a stroll down Nakamise-dori to get some souvenirs or take a rickshaw ride to see the old streets of the district. If you are a foodie who loves trying local specialties, stop at one of the stalls at Hanayashiki for some crunchy tempura, savory monjayaki, a type of pan-fried batter filled with ingredients like seafood and vegetables, or some melon sweet bread). If you want to understand Asakusa better, stop at the geisha district to see some beautiful performances and enjoy a cup of tea.
