The 1,400-Year Legacy of Asakusa: A Guided Historical Journey
Journey into the heart of Old Tokyo on this comprehensive guided walking tour of Asakusa, the city's most historic district. From ancient temples to samurai-era streets, you'll discover the deep history and vibrant culture that began along the Sumida River.
Highlights
• Sumida River Views: Our tour begins where Asakusa's history started. Across the river, you'll see the modern Tokyo Skytree and the unique golden flame of the Asahi Breweries' Headquarters.
• Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center: Visit this architectural landmark, not just for information but to appreciate one of Asakusa's newest sights.
• Kaminarimon Gate: Stand before the famous outer gate of Sensoji Temple with its huge red lantern. Your guide will demystify this giant lantern and its surrounding objects.
• Nakamise-dori Street: Stroll down this 250-meter-long approach to the temple, lined with souvenir shops and food stalls, and get insider tips on where to buy authentic souvenirs.
• Hozomon Gate & Sensoji Temple: Pass through the inner gate, Hozomon, which houses temple treasures, and observe the unique sights before entering the main hall of Sensoji Temple, one of Tokyo's most significant spiritual sites.
• Asakusa Shrine: Witness the peaceful coexistence of different faiths as you visit the adjacent Asakusa Shrine. Your guide will explain the fascinating centuries-old relationship between Buddhism and Shintoism in Japan.
• Denboin Street: Feel like you've time-slipped into the Edo (Samurai) period as you explore this quaint street, which perfectly preserves the atmosphere of old Tokyo.
Your tour will conclude at the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Asakusa Station at approximately 5:00 PM.
