The first short walk tour in Asakusa will explain all of Japanese history.
At every landmark, your expert guide explains not only what you’re seeing, but uses it as a gateway to Japan’s history, beliefs, and global connections. By the end of the walk, you’ll have a clear, big-picture understanding of how Japan evolved from a closed feudal society into the country you see today.
After building this historical foundation, take a short two-minute train ride across the Sumida River to Tokyo Skytree—linking old Tokyo with its most iconic modern landmark.
At the Skytree, ascend to both observation decks, first at 350 meters and then at 450 meters above ground. From the heights above Tokyo, enjoy experiences that bring the city into perspective:
• Let your guide help you identify major landmarks spread across the vast metropolis.
• Step onto the glass floor for a thrilling look straight down at the streets below.
• Take a commemorative photo, with the option to purchase a downloadable copy.
