This tour focuses on food and drink which constitute an integral pillar of Japan’s culture and history.
The tour starts with a non-gastronomical part. As we stroll through the Asakusa history tour course, the guide will demystify intriguing historical facts including:
1) Why Sumida river is an origin of Senso-ji temple
2) How Senso-ji temple and Asakusa developed hand in hand
3) How Asakusa has become a forerunner of Japan’s modernization
4) How the culture that flourished in the area impacted the world
After discovering Asakusa’s charm, make your way to three distinct but typical izakaya restaurants. Izakaya is a place where locals come typically with co-workers and friends to relax away from the daily grind. Since Izakaya is commoners’ favorite place, the offerings there are unassuming but closely tied to Japan’s history and culture. The guide will help you unlock the myth of Japanese cuisine as you see how locals unwind there.
