Wild contrasts between rich details of the temples shopping experiences.

Gulay lead us through the wonderful traditions of the temples and shrines and the deep historical details of the surrounding retail experiences. She did a great job!
Amazing guide and such an interesting area to explore
Amy_S, Feb 2024
Gülay was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable and understanding of the Japanese culture. She made the tour entertaining and fun whilst still imparting all the history and background of Tokyo. We were lucky enough to see a Shinto wedding blessing at the temple. Despite it being a crazy day due to the Lunar New Year and Japans Foundation Day holiday, we were able to still see everything and enjoy the day. She guided us to some of the best shops on Kappabashi street and we will think of her everytime we use our special little bowls.
Transformative!

I had a wonderful time with RamKy, learning about the history and culture of Japan while strolling the backstreets of the historic Asakusa district. Along the way, we visited open air artisan markets and the grounds of the very beautiful Senso-Ji Temple. RamKy is a natural born teacher and entertaining conversationalist. This tour was the unexpected highlight of my time in Tokyo!
Great time and learning experience for my 18 year old daughter and myself.
David_S, Sep 2023
My daughter and I spent a few hours exploring the Sensoji Temple, exploring surrounding historical area, and headed over to Ginza for a quick look and tour. Our guide Gulay was from eastern Europe and was warm, well spoken and educated on Tokyo and the Japanese culture. We had a great learning experience and truly enjoyed getting a crash course on Japanese culture and customs from our guide. I would highly recommend this type of tour for yourself or family and doing this early in your travels to help you better understand the rich culture and traditions of Japan or other history rich countries.
Great in depth private tour
Monica_K, Nov 2022
I booked this experience looking for a great in depth tour of the Asakusa area and it was exactly that! RamKy was a GREAT guide and shared so much knowledge about the area. He also was able to share history of Japanese culture and gave me answers to all my questions. Definitely would recommend booking this
Grazie Carlos

Carlos è stato semplicemente perfetto, abbiamo avuto quello che ci serviva, e ci ha introdotto in tanti aspetti della cultura di Asakusa e del Giappone che non conoscevamo. Ci ha poi anche dato consigli su altri luoghi di Tokyo che sono stati molto preziosi. Grazie ancora Carlos
