Begin your walking tour in Asakusa, Tokyo, and explore both the “deep” and “classic” sides of the area. Discover not only the tourist spots but also the local lifestyle, Showa-era history, and the essence of Japanese culture with your guide.

Start at the Asakusa Underground Shopping Street, one of Japan's oldest underground shopping streets, which opened in 1955. Experience the “real downtown culture” of Tokyo that you can't see in tourist spots. See the retro neon lights and exposed pipes, and learn about life in the Showa era and post-war reconstruction.

Next, head to the bustling Nakamise and Denboin Streets, Asakusa’s most famous shopping streets. Enjoy a Japanese sweet of your choice together with your guide while learning about Japan’s seasonal and wagashi culture. Discover the unique rules of eating while walking in Japan and find the best photo spots with views of Nakamise and the five-story pagoda.

Finally, visit Sensoji Temple, the symbol of Asakusa. Learn the correct way to pray and the meaning behind it. Hear about the giant lantern and dragon carvings at Kaminarimon Gate, the history of Hozomon Gate and the five-story pagoda, and try your luck with an omikuji (fortune slip). Pray for good health at the incense burner and learn the differences between temples and shrines.
