Highlights
Enjoy the journey through Tokyo's historic heart with our Senso-ji and Surroundings. This experience invites you to delve into the cultural richness and traditions of Asakusa. Begin your exploration at Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple and a symbol of resilience and renewal. Witness the grandeur of the Kaminarimon Gate, adorned with a massive lantern, and immerse yourself in the temple's serene ambiance. Stroll along Nakamise-dori, a bustling street lined with traditional shops offering local snacks and crafts. Explore the vibrant and lively atmosphere of Asakusa, where history and contemporary life coexist harmoniously. Not far from Senso-ji an amazing street unfolds: Kappabashi is lined with stores selling everything related to restaurants, from knives and ceramics to food samples and uniforms. **Rain, shine, or a bit of both— our walking tours still go on!**

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).
