Description

Discover a hidden side of Asakusa that most people don't know! Our guide, a night-time Asakusa specialist, will take you on a relaxing walking tour away from the daytime crowds, immersing you in the magical atmosphere. Asakusa at night is a perfect spot for photography. The tour begins with a stroll through the Asakusa underground shopping arcade. This area is difficult to access without a guide, but it retains the atmosphere of old Asakusa and offers opportunities to interact with locals. You can enjoy “Denki Brandy,” a unique blended whiskey born in Asakusa during the Meiji era. Even if you don't drink alcohol, don't worry—we also have non-alcoholic options available! ※On Wednesdays and store holidays, the drink menu may be subject to change. Then, visit the beautifully illuminated Sensoji Temple, learning about its history and significance as you wander through the tranquil grounds. ※The main hall closes at 6pm, so you may not be able to enter.
