Great private tour - We had a great private tour. Super informative, we wouldn’t have been able to do the temple and prayers without a guide. We then got to see the kitchen shopping street which was fantastic.

Sensoji Temple & Street food - We had another great experience! Both my wife and I love history and appreciate learning from locals, and this tour definitely met our expectations. Sowa was very informative, took plenty of pictures, and even sent them to us afterward. He spoke excellent English and was extremely helpful throughout the tour.

Excellent experience with thoughtfully planned tour - The challenge is how to provide a personal, fun, and educational tour at a site where hundreds of people are milling around in 90-degree heat? Our guide, Ryota, with TripPort, accepted this challenge and delivered an exceptional experience for my son and me.
Sensoji Temple is packed during the summer tourist season. This guided tour was exceptionally well planned, allowing you to access the best of what Sensoji has to offer without overwhelming you. Our guide expertly guided us away from the dense crowds whenever possible, while sharing all the information we could have wanted about the temple and the area. He generously answered our many questions, mixing in his own experience with the temple's incredible history.
The tour is timed exceptionally well, with breaks at exactly the right times. The walk to Kappabashi Street (Kitchen Town) was a stroke of genius. It gave us a chance to reflect on the temple experience and talk about Tokyo as a whole. Ryota gave us tips for the rest of our stay and shared personal stories. We HIGHLY recommend this tour with TripPort!

A great way to get the local view of the area. - We really enjoyed this tour; just the 2 of us with our guide Roka. A really nice guy who passed on a lot of interesting information about both the Senso-ji Temple and various street foods (a good variety by the way). We then walked down Kappabashi street full of kitchenware (buying 2 sake cups to use as egg cups at home!). We had time to visit the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple which was as calm and tranquil as the Senso-ji was busy and crowded (a much better experience). A great couple of hours.

Temples, Shrines, Food and More - My wife and I had a great time on this tour with Sato. Not only were we able to try several foods along Nakamise, but Sato answered all of our questions and showed us the proper eitquette at Sensoji temple and Asakusa shrine. Our tour ended on Kappabashi street where we were explored the countless stores with kitchen supplies. We really enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Asakusa. If you’re looking to pick up gifts on your trip, this will be a great tour for you.
