Itinerary
Your guide will take you to the shrine where people working in the surrounding offices still don't dare to turn their backs towards the location of the shrine because of the vengeful spirit that has haunted the area for more than 1000 years. You will hear the true stories of what ghostly activities have happened here throughout the centuries.
Your guide will take you to several places of interest around the Minamisenju area, including two separate places of worship with a truly tragic history and many reports of paranormal activity, and the location of the old red-light district. You will make short stops at both points of interest to hear about the histories and ghosts connected to the area.
Your guide will take you to several places of interest around the Asakusa area, including a viewpoint, the Sensoji temple, the streets surrounding the temple, the Old Hag's Pond, and Kappabashi. You will make short stops at each point of interest to hear about the history, ghosts, and monsters connected to the area. At the end of the tour the guide will drop you off at a strange bar, a traditional izakaya or at Asakusa station.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
