Great Experience 😃 - I had an amazing experience with [Mei] on my Sensoji & asakusa tour. From the very beginning, mei was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable exploring the neighborhood . Not only did she educate me on the history of buddhism and the sensoji temple but also took me to hidden local spots I would have never found on my own. Would recommend to any of my friends and family if they ever visit tokyo! Thank you mei 🖤
