Highlights
  • Senso-ji Temple - Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo’s most colorful and popular temples.

The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo’s oldest temple.

Perfect day in Tokyo - As we planned our first full day in Tokyo, we felt it was important to have a guide to welcome us to the city. Naoko is so sweet. My 9 year old enjoyed talking to her and playing at a cat cafe. She was excellent at helping us reserve seats for the JR passes we needed to book for our trip. Because you are spending several hours with someone who knows the subway system, it’s nice to ask all questions for the rest of the days. She made recommendations on what routes to take for when we were on our own. She made it super easy for us! Arigato gozaimasu

Great day and friendly guide! - We had a great day walking around Tokyo. Our guide, Yumi, communicated with us well ahead of time to make sure to set an itinerary that matched what we wanted to see. We truly enjoyed our day and friendship with Yumi.

A full day in Tokyo! - Seizo was wonderful. We only had one day in Tokyo, and he aptly navigated the sister for my two young daughters and I to learn and see so much. The children are 8y and 6y old, and Seizo was flexible to take a break to cool off or have a snack as needed. It was a full day from 9am-4pm, and we left loving Tokyo! Thank you, Seizo

Mariko was great. She... - Mariko was great. She communicated with us prior to meeting which was helpful too and met us at the hotel on time to show us around. I would say that as a first timer try to fingers out best what you want to really visit we winged most of the places and between train rides and lunch it can eat into your time in places. But it was a great time exploring and would recommend it, Thanks

All around Tokyo - We had an AMAZING day with our tour guide Kei! He was SUPER knowledgeable, patient, and understanding with us. We have family members with specific dietary restrictions and he helped us find delicious Ramen we could ALL eat! He was also flexible with our itinerary and gave us a FULL 6hr tour. Don't hesitate with booking this tour Tokyo is soo amazing ! P.s. don't wear band new shoes on this tour. You walk A LOT and your feet will be screaming if your shoes aren't comfortable.

Tokyo tour - Taka was a knowledgeable friendly guide who went above and beyond to show us the sites of Tokyo. His English is excellent along with his sense of humor. He helped us purchase Shinkansen tickets, shared delicious ramen with us, took us to the shrine where we received lucky fortunes and breathed in incense to help heal all ailments, crossed the busiest intersection in the world and shopped in Harijuku.
