Tour Report of Asakusa on December 14, 2024

Welcoming 6 guests from the two countries, Australia and Mexico, we had the tour to Asakusa Temple and Asakusa Shrines. As the Nakamise Street, which is the approach to the temple’s main hall, is always crowded, 6 people were the decent size as a group. Thanks to the sunny weather, we had the good tour of one and a half hour, regardless of the cold wind.
