Travelers with an interest in practical arts and crafts won’t want to miss this delightful kintsugi workshop.

Discover the hidden charms of Asakusa! In this tour, Japanese female guides will show you around Asakusa in kimono. With their broken English and warm smiles, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere as if you were taking a walk with friends. The slightly awkward English will allow you to experience the joy of the moment when words are understood and the fun of exchanges that will make you laugh and smile. Our tours take you not only to the standard tourist attractions but also to the hidden gems and local stores loved by the locals in order to give you a sense of the real Asakusa. For example, we will visit small izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) in back alleys, coffee shops in old buildings with a sense of history, shopping streets full of old-fashioned humanity, and other places where you can feel “everyday life in Asakusa” that are not listed in tourist guides.

At the beginning of your trip, you will be able to enjoy a traditional sumo performance in Asakusa while tasting delicious food, learning about various sumo cultures, and even experiencing a match with sumo wrestlers.

I like kimono and wear some for 20+ years. You can rent one, but they're usually made of polyester.I would like you to try the authentic one! We can visit some vintage / second-hand kimono stores either in Asakusa, Akihabara or Nippori. I can advise you what kind of kimono would suite you, and make you wear an actual kimono. Please note that Japanese tend to be alot more tiny than your countries, so kimono might not fit you. After making you wear the kimono, we can stop by Sensoji Temple, or larndmark. Sample Itinerary: 10am Meet at Asakusa station and walk to the store. 10:15 Choose Kimono and obi and other small things you would like to purchase. 10:45 Start making you wear a kimono. Please note this time varies due to the number of your group. Usually 30min per person. 11:15 Walk to Sensoji Temple or wherever you like nearby. 11:30 Tour ends.

This premium plan involves hand-making the gorgeous and beautiful "Unryu paper" with a pattern resembling a dragon dancing among the clouds, pouring it into a special mold to make two envelopes and four pieces of letter paper. Unryu paper is characterized by its unique pattern created by adding the long, thin fibers of Tosa kozo, and the warmth and luxury that only natural fibers can give it. The "Unryu Paper" that will be produced in this plan was created during the Meiji and Taisho periods, when writing implements changed from brushes to pens and the uses of washi paper, which had previously been a daily necessity, expanded.
