Overview
  • Besides showing the landmarks like Kaminarimon Gate and Tokyo Skytree, Ryo will accompany you to many lovely temples and shrines around the area.
  • Asakusa is a distinctive place to have both a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine next to each other. You will also be able to know more about the religious views among Japanese people.
  • Finally, Ryo will take you to Nakamise Shopping Street, where he will explain the origin of Senso-ji Temple while showing various illustrations. Also, he will tell you how the temple has been loved and supported by a variety of people, from locals to the generals of different periods.
  • The host, Ryo has 6 years of experience working in Asakusa as a rickshaw driver and is passionate about introducing Japanese culture and history through the exploration of Asakusa. He would also be happy to tell his insights with humor from the perspective of a local Japanese comedian. Let’s enjoy to take a deeper look into Asakusa, the most iconic historical site in Tokyo!
