As you explore Toyosu together, your sushi master will share the techniques, craftsmanship, and traditions behind choosing the highest-quality seafood while offering insights into Japan's world-famous sushi culture.

@TOKYO | 1–6 people | Private Tour Love the traditional atmosphere of Asakusa or Kyoto? Discover a quieter side of old Tokyo where history, culture, and local traditions come to life without the crowds. Step into the world of Edo-period Japan as your private guide leads you through Fukagawa, one of Tokyo's hidden historic neighborhoods. While many visitors head to Asakusa or Meiji Jingu, Fukagawa offers a more peaceful and authentic glimpse into Tokyo's past. Choose to begin your experience dressed in a traditional kimono, professionally fitted with hairstyling. Walk through life-size recreations of Edo-period homes, shops, and streets while learning how everyday life over 150 years ago shaped the Tokyo we know today. Continue to Fukagawa Fudo-do Temple, an active Buddhist temple where centuries-old traditions are still practiced. If your visit coincides with the sacred fire ritual ceremony, you'll witness one of Japan's most dramatic ceremony rarely seen by international visitors.

In this tour, I will guide you through not only Asakusa's famous landmarks but also its lesser-known sides—stories and places that even many Japanese people don't know. I believe that to truly understand Japan’s history and culture, it's important to explore both the light and the shadow. Having worked with many tour guides, I’ve noticed that most focus only on the “good” side of Japan—saying how wonderful everything is. While I love my country, I also think it's important to show a complete picture, including the difficult and complex parts of our past. I’m passionate about sharing Japan with people from around the world. With experience guiding over 300 international visitors, I offer a unique, honest, and interactive tour. Each tour is private—only one group per session—so we can communicate freely. Feel free to ask questions at any time. I look forward to exploring Asakusa with you!
