Asakusa Cultural Walk & Matcha Making Tour
What your day looks like
During the tour, you will not only visit the main spots in Asakusa, but also take a break in the Japanese style at a teahouse where you can experience matcha (powdered green tea), and at a local restaurant where you can make your own monjayaki and okonomiyaki, so you will not only see but also experience Japanese culture and tradition through all five senses. Our friendly local guide will give you some insights into important traditions of Japanese temples, local lifestyles, what to buy, and what to eat in Asakusa. You can't hear the real voices of locals by only reading guidebooks or reading website articles- have an in-person guide show you around! This Asakusa cultural walking tour suits all types of travelers: family, friends, couples, and solo travelers. In addition, since this is a small-group tour (up to 8 people), you can also enjoy talking with and meeting new people, including your friendly local guide.
