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!
You will begin your tour with a special overview of this district. Explore Nakamise street, try a famous Japanese snack, and learn about how pilgrims and tourists have been coming here for more than 1000 years. Have a seasonal meal with your guide and learn about food customs and ordering tips that you can use throughout your time in Japan.
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.
