Excellent Asakusa/Knife district tour. - We had a wonderful tour of Asakusa with our tour guide Aki, who shared both the cultural history and great local insights. She also helped us source and buy some beautiful knives from Kappa-bashi street. We’d recommend this tour to anyone, especially at the beginning of your trip. Aki gave us great tips on other areas to visit throughout Tokyo….. so we are staying another day to for more in!
