Overview of your Tokyo tour

On this tour, I'll take you to Asakusa area where you can find traditional goods, foods, games and fashion. Besides this, we'll dive into religion by visiting Senso-ji temple, the oldest one in Tokyo. Here I'll tell you about about Japanese Buddhism and how to pray at temples. But there's one more important religion aside from Buddhism in Japan: Shinto. We're going to visit Meiji Jingu, Tokyo's most important shrine, where I'll share which are the main differences between Buddhism & Shinto. Japan is also widely known due to its seafood, and we'll be visiting the world's largest Tsukiji fish market which has about 400 shops. Here, you could even find a good restaurant to have lunch at or buy skewered food at small food stands. After learning of Japanese food & religious culture, we'll be able to go shopping where you could find lots of cute (Kawaii) items! To me, the most impressive part of this tour is that it covers all aspects of Tokyo for you to see, so it's a perfect chance to know old & new Tokyo.
