Tokyo: Asakusa Walking Tour & Comedy Night
First, you are going to have a 90min walking tour, and your host, Ryo will start introducing you the icon of Asakusa, Kaminarimon Gate.
He will also tell you about the religions in Japan: Shinto and Buddhism. After you walk through Nakamise Shopping Street, he will accompany you to historical spots like Asakusa Shrine.
He would be happy to teach you different manners to pray at a Shinto shrine and a Buddhist temple while explaining the significance of the principal image of Senso-ji Temple. After arriving at the main hall of Senso-ji Temple, you will be able to have 60min free time to take a look at the temple area by yourself or buy souvenirs.
The second part of the experience: Standup Comedy Night starts with a casual 30min-meetup time to hang out with other guests. Then, you will enjoy a 45min comedy show and learn more about Japanese cultures through Ryo's funny insights.
The show is mostly made of clean jokes so that all family members can have a good time together!:)
