This was an extremely enjoyable trip and Haru was a great guide. She was very informative and very kind and went out of her way to ensure everyone attending understood. I would do this trip with her again in a heart beat!

We highly recommended this tour and are very happy we chose to do it.

Our group had all arrived early so Sho took us for a quick look at the viewing level of the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre (across road from the entrance to Sensi-Jo Temple). Then it was a Rickshaw ride, followed by a walk (with explanations) through Sensi-Jo temple and surrounds (including the neighbouring shrine). We walked through the shopping/market area (tried two different types of food, one sweet, one savoury) without feeling rushed. And then on to a little restaurant to make yokonomiyaki. Time went quickly and it was enjoyable having the group size we had (six people plus two guides - one a "trainee"). Both guides spoke very good English and were happy to answer any questions.I'm super glad that I have chosen this tour! Both Kuni and Hayato are really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! The pace of the tour was good and my fellow travellers were pleasant too! Thank you Kuni and Hayato for giving me great joy and memories in Asakusa :)
