Guide information
Hi there! We're a group of university students working as flat-certified guides — all of us genuinely passionate about connecting with people from around the world.
We've walked these streets with countless guests, so we know how to share Japanese culture, manners, and travel tips naturally along the way. But forget the scripted tour. Whatever catches your eye or sparks your curiosity, that's where our conversation begins.
Every guide has a different background — a history student might uncover hidden stories in the streets, while a photography lover will know exactly where to find the perfect shot. Same place, different guide, completely different experience.

Plan points
Savory Street Food Adventure!
After meeting near the iconic Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), we'll head straight into Nakamise Shopping Street. From classic ningyo-yaki (small cakes shaped like dolls) to crispy Asakusa menchi-katsu (fried minced meat cutlet), freshly baked melon pan, and delicate matcha crepes – get ready for a culinary journey! Your local guide has curated a special food map to help you discover the best bites Asakusa has to offer. Best of all, all food and drinks are included in your tour price – so just relax and enjoy tasting your way through Asakusa!
(Vegan options available)
Dive Deep into Asakusa's Fascinating History!
Once we pass through Nakamise, we'll visit the magnificent Sensoji Temple and Asakusa Shrine. Why is there a giant straw sandal hanging in the temple? How did Nakamise Street come to be? Your knowledgeable guide will share captivating stories and insights into Asakusa's rich culture and centuries-old history!
Explore Every Corner of Asakusa!
After paying our respects at the temples, the adventure continues! We'll stroll through Nishi-Sando (West Approach) with its quirky souvenir shops, venture down Hoppy Street lined with lively izakaya pubs, and discover the hidden gems of Kannon-ura – the charming backstreets behind the temple. Experience Asakusa like a true local!

Walking along Nakamise Street and trying delicious Japanese sweets together was so much fun. The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to!

I enjoyed shopping for Japanese goods on Hanayashiki Street. I bought a fan and chopstick rest at a good price, with a warm local vibe.
