"If you ask your kids to imagine Japan, chances are high that they’ll picture a scene like Asakusa, with dozens of kimono-clad women milling around traditional shops and a flame-red shrine. While you can explore the area surrounding the Senso-ji temple on your own, having a local along to share historical anecdotes and snacks is a big advantage. Guides on Arigato's intimate, personalized group tours come prepared to answer anything. Book in advance to secure a spot, then meet up at the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center for three informative hours of walking and grazing. Educational, fun, and an excellent way to see one of Tokyo’s most compelling neighborhoods, this tour is great for adventurous eaters of all ages. There’s enough to keep older kids engaged while their younger siblings delight in cutesy surprises like the lucky animal statues hidden around the neighborhood." - Diana Hubbell
