Unser Guide war super gut drauf und hat uns wirklich ganz viele Geheimtipps gezeigt, in denen überwiegend Japaner waren. Es wart super lecker und führt uns auch in die Resturants im 1. oder 2. Stock, in die wir sonst nie gegangen wären.

The Asakusa Twilight Tour was well worth the time. Ray, our guide, covered the interesting historical points of interest as well as those of modern Asakusa. Rays assistance in helping my wife who is blind and in a wheelchair, catered the tour to suite our needs. The evening meal was an interesting experience for us both. Our photos will recall many happy times. Thanks Ray and Arigato.
