Great tour

Published on Apr, 2025

Great tour with our guide Akiko. She was so lovely and helpful and showed us so many amazing places. Also the rickshaw ride was fantastic and our driver Dai was really great. Very interesting and so strong to pull us around!

Walking tour of Asakusa Temple.

Yoko was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs. She provided information on other things to do in Tokyo.

A nice solo tour visit

Published on Nov, 2024

Asakusa trip review This is one of the best cultural tours that I ever joined! I say this because I have been to Asakusa numerous times before and I didn’t expect I will learn or feel something new. Tour guide: ★★★★★ Our guide Kayoko-san was top notch. She is very friendly, knowledgeable and her English is so good. I learnt a lot of history and interesting facts (without getting bored!). Her engagement / hospitality / attention to details are amazing, she makes sure everyone gets nice photos, answer to every questions passionately, and she even have paper towels prepared after we washed our hands. Rickshaw ride: ★★★★★ I joined alone and I got my own rickshaw. The puller was really nice, well-built and handsome. Honestly, before I kind of feel bad for the pullers and I could never bring myself to try, especially during the hot summer days. But! Once I tried, I can feel he’s really passionate in doing his job. Also I learnt some historical facts from him I enjoyed the little trip. A big thanks, respect to him and other pullers. Overall it was a very enjoyable and definitely a tour that I will recommend!

The temple and rickshaw were cool

Published on Oct, 2024

It was really fun, the rickshaw was fun and comfortable. I thought the temple was really cool and Kay did a great job at explaining it, I feel like I learned a lot.

Fun introduction to Asakusa

Published on Oct, 2024

Fun morning with Kay walking around Asakusa Temple and market area. Kay was very patient with all my questions. Having Kay explain the culture and point out points of interest made the exploring so much more fun. The Rickshaw ride was a fun experience. Just the right amount of time.
