商品説明
Start your journey from Asakusa Sensoji Temple!
This 3-hour journey will start from Senso-ji, the oldest temple in Tokyo. We will explore the Nakamise Street that has a 300-year history and try traditional local snacks. After passing through the souvenir street, we will step into the main spot of Senso-ji temple, where a huge Japanese dragon painting on the ceiling awaits you. Our guide will share some Japanese customs and cultural tips related to the temple and Buddhism.
Matcha green tea making experience at a quiet Japanese tea house
Experience the quintessential Japanese sightseeing tradition: a serene teahouse visit after exploring the temple. Escape the hustle and bustle, savor the finest matcha tea in a tranquil setting, and immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance of Japan.
Enjoy a local favorite, Monjya-yaki or Okonomiyaki, in the backstreets of Asakusa.
Finally, we'll make a delightful detour to a cherished Monjayaki spot nestled in the charming backstreets of Asakusa, right along Hoppy Street. Here, your guide will lead you through the art of crafting this local dish, made from seasoned flour and a medley of ingredients. You'll relish your creation in the company of fellow travelers.
