A Must-Do Tour! - Hitomi-san was very knowledgeable and fun. She shared interesting facts about Sensoji Temple and took time for us to look around and soak it in. The matcha making course was super interesting! Making otomomiyaki in Japanese restaurant was a good experience. The group size was perfect. I highly recommend this tour!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic Experience! - This was one of the coolest tours we’ve ever been on. Hitomi was fantastic, and the small group size was so intimate. The matcha class was so fun (and delicious) and the Okonomiyaki was SO TASTY!

Great experience for Solo Travellers! - Nao was an amazing tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable of Asakusa. Although I was the only one on the tour with him (the other 2 tourist didn't show), being able to converse with Nao in a more personal way was enjoyable. The matcha making experience was also nice (thank you again to Narita-sensei for show me and Nao)!

Traditional Japan - Mark is a very interesting and motivated tour guide, we learned about ancient traditions in Tokyo, and Japan in general. He is able to give detailed information about the visits. Mark introduced us to the way ancient matcha was made, as well as cooking a traditional Japanese meal. We would definitely recommend him to other people coming to visit Tokyo.

Better Understanding of the Important of Macha - This was actually a "filler" tour for us between something and the ninja museum. It was a good tour. We did nothing on a rickshaw as was listed in the write up. But the Matcha history and making was very good.

Ramesh ensured we enjoyed every minute and every morsel! - Asakusa Walking Food Tour – Culture & Flavor in Every Step From a taste of ningyoyaki to serene sips of matcha, this tour was a feast for the senses. We had a visit to the iconic Senso-hi Trmple, then strolled through Nakamise Street and ended with learning to make (and eat!) savory okonomiyaki. Perfectly paced, deliciously authentic, and full of cultural gems. Ramesh made sure we enjoyed every minute and every morsel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Come hungry, leave happy.
