Asakusa district 2-Hour free walking tour
The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in English
Description
Hi! Welcome to one of our favorite walks: a 2-hour stroll through
Asakusa with a native Japanese local guide.
I'm Manabu, founder of Tokyo Genki Tours. I'm a Tokyoite who, after
studying in Australia and traveling through the Americas, came back
with a fresh love for my own country. I started Tokyo Genki Tours
to share that love with curious travelers, and built a small team
of fellow Japanese guides who feel the same way.
Whichever of us you walk with, you'll get the same thing: a Japanese
guide showing you Asakusa the way we'd show it to a friend.
On this walk we'll explore Asakusa together. We'll see the iconic
Kaminarimon Gate, wander Nakamise Shopping Street, visit the
peaceful grounds of Senso-ji Temple, and end with a quiet riverside
walk along Sumida Park.
But we won't just look at landmarks. We'll talk about what they mean
to us as Japanese people. The little customs that locals follow without
thinking. Why monks chant at dawn. The small alleys most tourists walk
right past.
This is Asakusa told from the inside, by people who grew up with this
culture.
Good to know:
- Tours in English, groups of up to 8 people
- Booking is free, no credit card needed
- You decide what the experience was worth at the end
Come walk with us. We can't wait to meet you.
Guide: Tokyo Genki Tours
Guiding since 2023PRO
Hi, I'm Manabu. Born and raised in Japan, with a love for sharing it.
I founded Tokyo Genki Tours to walk Tokyo with travelers the way I'd walk it with a friend. No scripts. No tourist traps. Just real stories from real locals.
"Genki" (元気) means energetic, lively, in good spirits. That's what every tour should feel like.
After studying in Australia and traveling through the Americas, I came home with a fresh appreciation for Tokyo. So I started building a small team of fellow Japanese locals who share it.
We currently walk Asakusa, with more neighborhoods on the way.
Let's walk together.
