Experience Details

Looking for a family-friendly day out in Tokyo? Right here, folks! Join this guided walking tour of Tokyo’s historic Asakusa district alongside a multilingual host. You’ll visit landmarks like Sensoji Temple and Nakamise Shopping Street, learn about the area's history, and feast on tasty street foods (beef, sushi, tempura, snacks, and beyond). The best part? Kids can join FREE of charge!


Asakusa stands as a testament to Tokyo’s ability to preserve its heritage while embracing the future. At the heart of Asakusa lies the magnificent Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest and most revered Buddhist temple–and one of the key stops on your tour. Approaching Sensoji, you’ll be greeted by the iconic Kaminarimon Gate, adorned with a massive red lantern symbolizing protection from thunder and lightning.


Continue your Asakusa tour with a visit to Nakamise Shopping Street. Extending from Kaminarimon Gate to Sensoji Temple, this stretch of shops is a thriving marketplace that embodies the charm of old-world Japan. Nakamise’s history dates back centuries, and its pulsating energy still resonates today. Stalls lining the pathway showcase an array of Japanese handicrafts, textiles, trinkets, and street foods. Did someone say street food? Feast on various Asakusa eats like Japanese beef, sushi, tempura, snacks, and desserts. You deserve it after all this walking!
