Asakusa Tour - Our tour guide Muto Hina was excellent. She was very thoughtful and toured us around Asakusa with kindness and knowledge. My husband and I were very pleased with our tour and could not have asked for a better tour guide. We wish her luck and good health in the future. Pam Grass (Husbabd- Dan Grass) April 8th, 2026

Personalized Asakusa shrine and food culture visit - We had such a lovely afternoon with Hina and Jun, exploring Asakusa’s history and food culture. It was so lovely having genuine conversations with our guide and her assistant. She explained the history and significance of the temple and shrine and guided us through the cleansing and steps to offer respect and an offering to the temple. We each received our fortunes and purchased shrine charms, omamori before exploring the area. We had some amazing matcha, visited the culinary shopping district and talked along the way. It was a wonderful and intimate tour, which the whole family enjoyed immensely.
