Best guide ever!!! Went out with Meg and it was perfect! Thank you so much for all the information and tips! Beautiful! They are placed in a nice new building with a view. Then we went out and we’re explained about all the history of the zone

I had a great time with the free guided tour in Asakusa. We were 3 people on the tour with Meg, our excellent guide. Meg took her time with us (the visit lasted 3 hours) and was happy to share with us many anecdotes about Japanese history, culture, food and also about Tokyo city. It was very instructive as we learnt many things. I also enjoyed the view of the city from the Asakusa culture tourist information center and the visit of the Senso-Ji temple. I would highly recommend it. A great way to start your trip and discover Asakusa in Tokyo and learn more about Japanese history. Thank you again Meg ! Amelie

We had a free tour within the culture tourist information center and it was one of the best experience so far with a guide. Our Japanese guide Meg was amazing and so knowledgeable about her culture. She provided so many informations about the Asakusa area and Japanese history. She had a very good English and French ! Lovely person ! Incredible ! We highly recommend this Free tour !

Meg was the most amazing tour guide! She was so extremely knowledgeable, kind and really lovely to be around! She adopted me into the little walking tour even though I was just wandering around the city and didn’t know about the tour. What an amazing experience!! Meg taught us about the shrines, temples, praying / offering procedures, customs, gods, history of Tokyo and so much more! I whole heartedly recommend this to everyone!

Excellent tourist information center. They had helpful English speaking staff members, maps, clean bathrooms, and an elevator to get an overview of the area. We got a sneak peek at how crowded pedestrian walk to the Senso-ji. It was a Saturday which made it extra packed with people. The cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom, too.

Our wonderful guide Meg gave us a lot of information about the history and the culture of Tokyo and especially the temple district of Asakusa. She gave us a deep insight of the most interesting places to be. She also informed us about the varieties of food offered by the best Restaurants and shops in the temple district. We enjoyed this tour starting at the Asakusa culture Tourist center very much and give a strong recommendation for joining this tour. The center itself has a wonderful architecture and at the rooftop terrace you have a wonderful view to Tokyo sky tree. Thx to Meg for this unvorgetable tour! Tom&Claudia

Meg was our guide. She is the best! So professional, knowledgeable, kind. Meg took us to all the places we wanted to see and more. We learned so much about Japanese culture. We feel blessed that Meg was our guide. Thank you so much!

Nous avons eu une très plaisante et intéressante visite avec notre guide Meg. Elle très sympathique et parle un peu Français. Le groupe sont au max de 10 personnes

The Asakusa tour was excellent. Meg was a great guide, very friendly, considerate, and knowledgeable. It was enriching to have the history and background of what we were seeing. The tour was free and not selling anything, didn’t accept tip. One of the best things to do in Tokyo!

When you are visiting the Sensō-ji most people will check out the Kaminarimon (thunder gate) and head straight down Nakamise-dōri street (the pedestrian mall lined with souvenir shops) to the temple. For me the better alternative is take a breath and visit the Asakura Culture Tourist Information Centre first. It's a modern eight storey building on the other side of the street to the Kaminarimon, and an architectural statement in its own right (you definitely won't miss it). It looks like a stack of separate wooden buildings that have been piled up on top of each other at different angles. The ground floor has a large information counter, which is manned by multi-lingual staff. On the weekend they conduct free English language tours around Asakusa. The basement has large clean restrooms, with drink vending machines. The seventh floor has an exhibition covering the history of Asakusa and Taitō. There is a covered observation deck and cafe on the eighth floor, with the best views of Sensō-ji, Sumida River, the Tokyo Skytree, and the Asahi Beer Hall. Entry is free and its open from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.
