About this activity

Join a tour by MagicalTrip, proud winner of the Tripadvisor Best of the Best Award. Each experience is led by a MagicalTrip Certified Guide, professionally trained and carefully selected to ensure quality and authenticity.

Begin your journey in Asakusa at Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest and most famous temple. Stroll along the historic Nakamise Street, with over 300 years of history, and sample traditional street food along the way.

After exploring the lively temple grounds, enjoy a peaceful break at a quiet Japanese tea house, where you’ll experience high-quality matcha green tea.

Next, head into the backstreets of Asakusa near Hoppy Street to try a local favorite, monjayaki. At a popular local restaurant, your guide will show you how to cook this savory dish made from seasoned flour and various ingredients, and you’ll enjoy sharing the meal with the group.
