Experience3 hr 30 min

Asakusa Big-Picture History Walk: Small Group or Private

Discover two contrasting yet inseparable sides of Asakusa on a Big-Picture History Walk designed to help you understand Japan itself. First, explore Asakusa’s sacred heart—Sensō-ji and Asakusa Shrine—while discovering how Buddhism and Shinto coexist, how Japan moved from isolation to global engagement, and how ukiyo-e influenced Western art. Then step into the secular culture that grew around the temple. See how pilgrims created demand for shops, food and entertainment, transforming Asakusa into Tokyo’s leading entertainment district before Shinjuku and Shibuya. Explore nostalgic streets, traditional theater areas and working-class Hoppy Street while tasting selected Japanese snacks and sweets. Choose the Small Group option to share this carefully designed journey with other travelers, or upgrade to Private for a guide exclusively for your group, a more flexible pace, and more freedom to explore the subjects that interest you most.

Tokyo Imperial Palace with Kagurazaka Alley Tour

While many visitors explore iconic landmarks like Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, few venture into the charming backstreets of Kagurazaka—one of Tokyo’s best-kept secrets. On our tour, we’ll take you beyond the typical tourist path to uncover this historic neighborhood filled with old-world atmosphere, traditional architecture, and rich cultural heritage. All of the locations we visit, including Kagurazaka, are deeply connected to the Edo period and the Tokugawa Shogunate, pivotal chapters in Japan’s history. However, these deep cultural layers are often hard to appreciate when exploring on your own. Our guided tour not only brings history to life through insightful storytelling, but also offers exclusive local tips and unique experiences you won’t find in any guidebook. Let us help you see Tokyo through the eyes of a local—past and present.
