ASAKUSA More Deeply!
Joined 2023
Want to know more about Asakusa? In Asakusa, the regular tour includes Kaminari Mon, Nakamise shopping street, the five-story pagoda, and the main hall. It takes about 1 hour. In this tour, we spend half a day in Asakusa for those who want to know Asakusa more deeply. I take the double time (2 hours) and show the places that tourists don't usually visit. The next 2 hours are up to you. I will arrange it as you like.

When I came back to Japan from abroad, I always noticed virtues and points to be admired in Japan anew.
I'm thrilled to introduce such kinds of stories and favorite spots to you.
I like bar hopping, cooking, history, and outdoor activities such as camping, cycling.

“First evening in Tokyo ”
Maki met us at our hotel (after we had been in Tokyo for only 4hours on our first day of our trip )to guide us to local food and drinks near our hotel. It was a total success as Maki guided us through very busy areas to a great restaurant for tempura/sushi , beers and wine. She was great company (very fluent English) and showed us a lot in a short time which set up our next days in Tokyo. We even went back to the restaurant on our own later in our stay.
