Senso-ji Temple
Tokyo's oldest temple and the spiritual focal point of the neighbourhood.

The experience
Asakusa is one of Tokyo's most evocative districts, centred on the centuries-old Senso-ji Temple and the lively approach of Nakamise. Its narrow lanes, craft traditions and river views reward an unhurried visit. With a private car and driver, you can arrive with ease, avoid carrying purchases between stops and continue naturally toward Skytree, Ueno or the eastern side of the city.

Add Kappabashi, a neighbourhood lunch, or a quieter side street based on your interests.
Continue along the Sumida or pair the visit with Skytree, Ueno or a waterfront stop.
Private driver advantage
The most atmospheric parts of Asakusa are explored on foot; your driver handles the transitions and waits at an agreed accessible point.
