Asakusa is not only a temple town but also a traditional town of common peoples's culture. In the typical Tokyo Shitamachi (old residential town), there is Japanese Broadway, interesting and unique river view and many many shops worth to visit. You can enjoy the essence of Shitamachi.

We had a great journey with Tak who was really flexible and helpful! He made real effort to figure out schedules and procedures to the sight we wanted even it definately wasn't the most typical sightseeing destination. He had even made us printed themed schedules :) One sort of accidental highlight was beautiful walk to the sight, and Tak did share his knowledge of local culture. We also got tips over where to go and what to do with the rest of our journey in Japan. Recommended ^_^
Thank you so much! It was an excellent experience, a day of long trains, long walks, long stairs (ups and downs), and fantastic views. Actually, I didn't know about the place. Not only as a guide but also as myself, I was excited at every moment in the underground world. I must apologize for fatiguing you, but your patience helped me. Thank you again, and I wish you would announce the name of Tak to people in your country. lol. Have a memorable holiday, keep safe, and don't walk too much. (Tak)
He was very nice and patient with us. It was a great experience touring around Tokyo with Tak.
Dear Myca. Thank you for the great day with you and the beautiful girl. It was quite a busy day, but I'm happy to spend time with your family. I hope you could have a great memory. See you again. Tak
Tak is a wonderful guide, he is very professional, nice and patient. Thank you dear Tak, for the two wonderful days in Tokyo. Nadya&co
Dear Nady. Thank you for the joyful days. I still remember the smiling faces of the 2 families. In particular, I feel really happy a couple of mamas looked enjoying. I know your travel in Japan has a long way after this. If you have trouble, let me know. I think I can assist by sending you some information. I say again, thank you so much. Please good to the dads, the boys, the mom, and the girl. Tak
Tak was a very good guide. He took us on a a very varied tour of parts of Tokyo that we would not have sought since they are not typically the top things to see in Tokyo but were well worth it, especially with the explanations provided. He catered to a family with ages ranging from 13 to 79 and made it interesting for all. Thanks Tak!
Hi, Simon. Thank you for the day. That was the day I never forget. Everything went moderately and warm under the spring sunlight (actually, day after day, cold days after the day). I am happy if you enjoy Tsukiji, Hama-Rikyu Garden, and Asakusa. You must make great memories in Kanazawa, Kyoto, and Matsuyama, also. Wish you could see beautiful cherry blossoms there. If you have an opportunity to visit Japan again, let me know. I say thank you one more time. Tak
