Meeting Point
1-chme-1-1 Asakusa
Were not going to let an opportunity to show you Senso-ji slip by. With your knowledgeable guide at your side, you will learn about the history of this very early Buddhist Temple in Japan. Youll find out why it differs in appearance from most temples in Kyoto, or most anywhere else in Japan for that matter. Asakusa today is much more than just Senso-ji and the shopping street leading up to it. This was also the case a hundred years ago, when Asias first subway started operation between Asakusa and Ueno, which is our next stop. The fact that the first subway was built here demonstrates just how central, busy, and valuable the area was once. That is not to say the area has fallen on hard times. But, rather, to point out that the Asakusa/Ueno area once held the prominence that Shinjuku and Shibuya hold in the metropolis today. Hard to imagine, but true.

2 - Senso-ji Temple
Senso-ji, Tokyo's iconic temple in historic Asakusa, is a captivating journey into Japan's cultural heart. With its majestic Thunder Gate (Kaminarimon), vibrant Nakamise shopping street, and serene temple grounds, it's an unforgettable destination where tradition meets modern allure.

3 - Ueno
From touring Asakusa, we will venture toward Ueno. This area has, for generations, been where street vendors and shops of all stripes sold their wares and their foods. It is probably just as busy an area now as it was centuries ago. Once you get a look at the scene, youll know why. This is no highly-manicured, corporate-dominated shopping district. Not at all. Since this is your own private tour of Tokyo, we could also include a visit to the Tokyo National Museum. Their repository is unrivaled across virtually all the arts and, if you are up for it, we are super keen to dive deeper into art and the orbiting culture of the various periods with you.

4 - Akihabara
Welcome to the vibrant world of Akihabara, fondly known as "electric town," a bustling district that has been a hub for cutting-edge electronics since the pre-war era. Over time, it has transformed into a captivating haven of "Otaku" culture, a subculture brimming with passion for anime, manga, and all things pop-culture. Akihabara's journey began with its reputation for showcasing an array of household goods. However, it underwent a remarkable metamorphosis, embracing the dynamic realm of Otaku culture. Otaku isn't just about computer nerds; it represents a community of devoted enthusiasts, celebrating creativity and imagination. As you explore the lively streets, immerse yourself in the sensory delights that surround you. Discover the latest and most revolutionary electronics, testament to Japan's reputation as a global leader in innovation. But there's more to Akihabara's charm. The district offers an atmosphere akin to stepping into a living, breathing manga or anime world.
