This tour focuses on food and drink which constitute an integral pillar of Japan's culture and history. The tour starts with a non-gastronomical part. As we stroll through the Asakusa history tour course, the guide will demystify intriguing historical facts including: 1) Why Sumida river is an origin of Senso-ji temple 2) How Senso-ji temple and Asakusa developed hand in hand 3) How Asakusa has become a forerunner of Japan's modernization 4) How the culture that flourished in the area impacted the world After discovering Asakusa's charm, make your way to three distinct but typical izakaya restaurants. Izakaya is a place where locals come typically with co-workers and friends to relax away from the daily grind. Since Izakaya is commoners' favorite place, the offerings there are unassuming but closely tied to Japan's history and culture. The guide will help you unlock the myth of Japanese cuisine as you see how locals unwind there.

Kappabashi Street adjacent to Asakusa is a shopping street lined with dozens of strores selling everything needed by restaurant operators. This is the only place in Tokyo where you can find stores specialized in Japanese food replicas. These unbelievably realistic food replicas look yummy, but you can't eat or drink them. International travelers have been intrigued by how delicious they look. If you also want to be one of them and bring your own back home to share the wonder with others, then this tour is for you. Our guides will take you to stores where you can find replicas you like most. They will help you look around and search by intermediating between yourself and the store clerks as an iterpreter. And of course, the tour preceding the visit to the Japanese food replica stores is one of a kind; an in-depth history tour in Asakusa. For groups of three or more, we will use an earphone guide system which enables you to clearly listen to the guide from a distance.
