This street is lined with numerous shops offering traditional Japanese sweets, souvenirs, and various authentic items. As the tour progresses towards the main hall, there are opportunities to taste snacks and collect souvenirs, all while enjoying the vibrant, historical ambiance reminiscent of Edo-era Tokyo, over 200 years ago when samurai roamed these streets.

Here, you can engage in traditional rituals and cultural activities such as drawing a fortune slip called omikuji, blessing yourself with incense smoke, offering prayers, and more, fully immersing in the living culture of Asakusa.

Traditional Culture of Asakusa - Even beginners can rest assured that the guide will assist them with everything from kimono rental to prayer manners. It was a great help to be able to take photos at Kaminarimon at a time when I was avoiding crowds. Eating around is just the right amount and you can enjoy a variety of flavors. This tour is perfect for those who want to know more about Japanese culture.

Kimono sightseeing is enjoyable even for Japanese people♬ - I went sightseeing in Asakusa wearing a kimono! Asakusa is fun no matter how many times you go there, and you can enjoy it with a fresh feeling by changing your mood again when you wear a kimono. I had never been around eating before, so I was glad that my guide introduced me to some good restaurants.

Eating around in a kimono - I felt the beauty of Japan with my whole body in a space encased in the scent of incense. It was a precious day to forget about the hustle and bustle of our times and to touch the heart of Japan in a relaxed time.

Recommended for those who want to try on a kimono! - Walking around Asakusa in a silk kimono is like traveling back in time to the Edo period! With the detailed explanation of the guide, I had no idea that the manners of cleaning and visiting the shrine with the ladle had such profound meaning. I'm happy to be able to experience authentic Japanese culture, which you can't experience in normal sightseeing.

In Kimono 👘 - Asakusa is a sightseeing spot where you discover something new every time you walk, but this time I took this tour and tried a new experience of walking while wearing a kimono! Fresh with every walk. I had a luxurious time, not just sightseeing but getting into traditional Japanese life.

I enjoyed the kimono experience!! - Join a tour while wearing a kimono in Asakusa with friends! It was my first time and I was a tourist! Even Japanese people enjoyed it. I was a little nervous because I didn't have a chance to wear a kimono, but on the contrary it was refreshing. It was a good experience to enjoy Asakusa more in a Japanese way!
