Many thanks for joining Tokyo Free Walking Tour at Asakusa on December 20, 2025. We welcomed 8 guests from US, UK and New Zealand. It was a tremendous opportunity for us to meet wonderful guests from many countries and share interesting conversations. As promised, group photos and snapshots are attached so that you can remember the fun times we had during the tour.
Recently, the weather has become quite cold. Every year, about three million people visit Senso-ji Temple during the first three days of January for Hatsumode (the first shrine or temple visit of the New Year), making it one of the largest New Year’s pilgrimages in Japan.
At Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine, preparations such as seasonal decorations are already underway for the year-end and New Year holidays. How do you usually spend the year-end and New Year holidays in your country? Why not join us and enjoy a conversation about cultural differences? Our tours are conducted in small groups, with one guide for every two to three guests. This allows you to enjoy plenty of conversation, almost like a private tour with a native Japanese guide. We also gain many valuable cross-cultural experiences through these interactions. This is exactly what sets Tokyo Free Walking Tour apart from other tours.
Once again, thank you for choosing Tokyo Free Walking Tour during your precious time in Tokyo. In case you happen to be back in Tokyo, please join another one of our tours.
