Asakusa Twilight Tour – Evening
Asakusa Twilight Tour – Evening
Asakusa is one of Japan’s must-see spots-taste the flavors of this historic neighborhood!
Asakusa is one of the most picturesque locations in Tokyo and it is even more beautiful after dark. During the morning and afternoon, the place is filled with people looking to see the most iconic temple in Japan, but we know you want to get off the beaten track and discover hidden spots and tasty treats that most tourists will never find. Dodge the crowd by visiting in the evening, when many families have already retired to their homes or hotels, and truly experience the beauty of this site that’s amplified under the moonlight. Learn the history of the area and enjoy the special twilight scenes of this district while trying snacks, sweets, and having a local seasonal dinner!
While in Asakusa, you absolutely have to see the Sensoji Temple. During the day, it’s bustling and full of people shoulder-to-shoulder, but in the evening, you get to see the true beauty of this landmark under the moonlight without the distractions of all the other tourists. See all the important sites and make delicious memories with your expert guide sharing information about this amazing “shitamachi” or downtown neighborhood.

For Vegetarians:
Some food that we serve may have dashi, a soup stock made from kelp (seaweed) and bonito (skipjack tuna) as well as other ingredients. Dashi is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine and is used in many/most Japanese dishes. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your dietary needs if you cannot consume dashi. Additionally, please inform us if you can eat eggs and dairy products.
If you cannot consume Dashi, we recommend booking a private tour with us and we can offer some alternatives. Again, be aware, it will still be a challenge to 100% avoid fish stock.
