move to Asakusa
Asakusa Nakamise Street / Try street local foods!
Nakamise Street is the most famous shopping street in Asakusa. The street runs for 250 meters on the main approach to Sensoji Temple and is lined on both sides with shops selling traditional souvenirs, snacks, and sweets.
Asakusa Sensoji / Visit the oldest temple in Tokyo
Sensoji Temple in Asakusa is the oldest and most famous temple in Tokyo with a history going back 1,400 years. This temple is dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and it is incredibly popular with millions of people visiting every year.
Ameshin, traditional Japanese candy shop / Let's try making a candy!
Ameshin, a group of candy craftsmen founded by Shinri Tezuka, is committed to upholding the tradition of Amezaiku, which is dying out due to a lack of successors, while at the same time bringing innovative never-seen-before creations into the world.
note: It's not private workshop. Other customers can join the workshop.
Dinner at a Okonomiyaki restaurant!
Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake and is made with vegetables, meat, seafood, and other ingredients, cooked on a griddle with flour-based batter and served with special sauce. While Kansai-style okonomiyaki is prepared by pre-mixing the ingredients and batter together before cooking, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is made by cooking the batter and ingredients in layers without mixing them on the griddle. Besides these two popular versions, similar dishes are found in other areas throughout the country.
Izakaya / Japanese style bar hopping!
Izakaya is a type of informal Japanese bar that serves alcoholic drinks and snacks. Izakaya are casual places for after-work drinking, similar to a pub, a Spanish tapas bar, or an American saloon or tavern.

“Great Guide for Bars in Shibuya Area”
Toshi is an awesome guide who is very knowledgeable about Tokyo's nightlife scene, and he took me on a tour of bars within the Shibuya area. The places we went to leaned more towards locals than tourists, which is what I was looking for, and were a great balance between old and new Japan. We visited a Japanese restaurant (which had an interior that included trees and a running river!), along with a micro-brewery with a huge selection of locally made beer and a listening bar. I would not have found these places on my own, and having Toshi as a guide was the reason I got to experience it. He has a lot of work experience abroad (especially in Europe) and his English is excellent. I highly recommend his tours.

(18 reviews)Hi Richard! Thank you for booking my tour! I appreciate it. As you mentioned, we visited not only a Japanese style restaurant but also an amazing beer stand and a music bar around Shibuya. I'm so glad that you are satisfied with the tour. It would be great if we could have a chance to meet in the future! Many thanks, Toshi
“Brilliant second trip with Toshi ”
Toshi suggested this as something we may enjoy and as we’d be looking at trying to get tickets arranged the trip through him. We were taken to a traditional, authentic and small sumo stable to watch morning practice and get a better understanding of the sport. It was something very special to witness and we thank Toshi for sorting this for us. Both trips we did we him were excellent. Many thanks again Toshi, our best wishes to you and your family Neil, Kirsty & Sam

(18 reviews)Hi Neil! I'm happy that I can offer you to watch SUMO morning training. It's interesting but quite tough to get the ticket. We are lucky!! If we could have a chance to meet again, let's enjoy more traditional experience together! Have a great trip in Japan! Toshi
