Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.

“Amazing day!”
Mark was amazing. He was very thoughtful and accommodating. We provided him with a couple of places we wanted to visit and he planned the day around these. He navigated the train and subway systems for us. Mark showed us more than we thought possible. His choice of restaurant for lunch suited everyone in the group with lots of Japanese cuisine, friendly and delicious. We had a great time. Highly recommend Mark.

Thank you for your warm and good review. I myself enjoyed the tour with you. I really appreciate this splendid good weather brought by you.

“Tokyo… but not the one you think you know.”
Tokyo… but not the one you think you know. “Tokyo Unmasked” was exactly that subtle, layered, a little unexpected… and quietly unforgettable. Our guide, Akira, didn’t simply show us places, but gently revealed the city’s rhythm and a new way of seeing it. We also discovered how different spiritual ways of thinking can exist side by side in a natural, almost effortless harmony. Intelligent, full of empathy and just the right amount of intrigue. Thank you for letting us glimpse the city behind the surface we will be looking at Tokyo differently from now on.
