　　　Hozo-mon gate at Sensoji temple

TOUR GUIDE AUDIO SAMPLE


Most foreign visitors to Tokyo think that Asakusa is the place to see “old Japan”. In reality, however, although its Sensoji temple has a history that dates back to the 7th century, the area itself did not gain mass popularity until almost the end of the Edo period. Its status as fashion trend setter grew during the Meiji period up until it lost that role along with its mass popularity at the end of WWII.

Asakusa offered Edoites escape from the drudgery of everyday life under the Tokugawa dictatorship and with its licensed quarters nearby in Yoshiwara and the Kabuki and its various theatres, along with foreign culture, Asakusa offered something for everyone, and still does today!

Tour Length: 3 hours or more
Note: Don’t miss the illumination from dusk.

　　　　　Kamiya Bar

TOUR GUIDE AUDIO SAMPLE


Asakusa needs no introduction to its many historical sites and bustling activity. But those in the know come to Asakusa for a different reason… in a word its food! This tour begins at the Kamiya Bar near the exit from the Ginza subway line. This is fitting as the Ginza Line is Tokyo’s oldest subway and the easiest way to get to Asakusa, and the Kamiya Bar — if not Tokyo’s oldest watering hole — is Tokyo’s most famous bar.

The best times for this tour are during business hours, 10.30 to 18.00 for most shops, and between 11.30 to 15.00 for lunch, and between 17.00 to 22.00 for dinner. The illumination of the Sensoji Temple is at dusk, and is a must see and good opportunity to change venues and see the sites at the same time.

As perhaps no where else in the world, the Japanese and their relationship to food is deep and complex and has a long history. The Japanese do not eat to live, but seem to live to eat. Join Dave here as he explains the history of Japanese food and what the visitor will see along the Nakamise, as well as throughout the Asakusa area.

You will not only gain a deep appreciation for Japanese foods but will have the opportunity to experience the tastes of Japan.
If you come away from this tour hungry, it will be your own fault!

Tour Length: 3 hours or more
Note: Don’t miss the illumination from dusk.
