The tour cost includes bus transportation and a river cruise. Please note that there will be a lot of walking on this tour. Asakusa was once the center of Tokyo’s Shitamachi culture, or “downtown,” where commoners lived and thrived. It still retains the lively, bustling atmosphere of past decades. The main attraction in Asakusa is Sensoji, a popular Buddhist temple established in the 7th century. Visitors reach the temple via Nakamise, a shopping street that has provided snacks and souvenirs to temple-goers for centuries. The temple complex features several notable structures, including the main hall, a five-story pagoda, brightly colored gates, and the famous Kaminarimon, or “Thunder Gate,” a striking vermilion-lacquered gate at the entrance. After exploring Asakusa, we’ll take a relaxing cruise along the Sumida River to Odaiba, a man-made island on Tokyo Bay known for its shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
