Motonori was our guide and he was very kind and informative! Our journey with him was peaceful, and personable. Would highly recommend as the temple was very easy to navigate with him
It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the tour with Motonori. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing us!
This is fabulous tour to take on day 1 of your trip to get context of the city, etiquette at shrines and temples. We had a wonderful stroll along the Sumida river, stunning views of Skytower while learning about the Edo period from Nori our tour guide. We then proceeded to walk to the senso-jo temple and explored local artisan shops, food stalls (we went during the golden week) up to the Senso ji temple! Nori was wonderful in sharing about the temple and the city, took us to all the perfect photo opportunities and her colleague also took some fantastic photos of us! I highly recommend the tour specially if it’s your first couple of days in Japan!
Thank you for your lovely comment! It is a great compliment for Nori! She is glad that you liked the tour and very happy to hear your comment! Thank you very much! Hope you have a wonderful vacation here in Japan!
Naoko was smart, funny and informative - her expertise really elevated our journey at Senso-Ji temple. We felt like we got a very personalized experience. She was so engaging and personable answering questions and giving us time to stop, explore and take pictures. Highly recommend this tour.

The walk with my guide Naoko along the Sumida River was very interesting. She explained the origin of the Sensõ-Ji Temple at the meeting point and the scenery beside the river. When we arrived at the recent Sensõ-Ji Temple she explained everything. Her knowledge is great. She answered all my questions too. In the end I learned a lot and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Thank you for your lovely comment! It is a great compliment for NAOKO! She is glad that you liked the tour and very happy to hear your comment! Thank you very much! Hope you have a wonderful vacation here in Japan!
My English is pretty bad and frankly it was easy to understand. I learned more in this tour than on social media despite that tonight a very popular and popular place among tourists. The Guide was incredibly kind. I recommend.
Thank you for choosing gotcha and we are glad that you've had a great time in Asakusa! And we are looking forward to see you again!
I have been able to learn a lot about the area and enjoy thanks to my Guide who can also speak in Spanish, learning about the temples, their traditions, the omikuji and finally a delicious bread melon with ice cream. I highly recommend it.
