ASAKUSA More Deeply!
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.
