Meet Your Local Guide in Front of Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center
Walk along the side streets and alleyways of Asakusa and let your local guide enchant you with stories. The district will charm you with quaint buildings and shops that breathe the past into the present.
Enjoy a delicious seasonal lunch at a local spot. Learn about Japanese food customs and ordering tips that will be useful throughout your trip in Japan.
Taste the exciting regional flavors of Japan as you munch on various snacks like hand-grilled rice crackers, Japanese plums, and pickles. The snacks vary according to season, so there's always something to look forward to.
This sweet bun, known for its half-dome shape and a cookie crust top that resembles a melon, is both a well-loved snack and a staple symbol in Japanese popular culture. Dig in and have a sweet time!
End your tour with an authentic matcha tea experience. Savor a hot or iced matcha drink paired with a delicious dessert in a cozy setting.

Other requirements
- Strict start time policy: We are sorry to say that if you are not able to arrive at the meeting point by the departure time, we will need to start the tour regardless and no refund can be provided. We are also unable to accommodate meeting up at any of the food stops. This is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all guests and also to respect our relationships with restaurants.

Some food that we serve may have dashi, a soup stock made from kelp (seaweed) and bonito (skipjack tuna) as well as other ingredients. Dashi is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine and is used in many/most Japanese dishes. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your dietary needs if you cannot consume dashi. Additionally, please inform us if you can eat eggs and dairy products. - If you cannot consume Dashi, we recommend booking a private tour with us and we can offer some alternatives.
