First you should go to the local tourist information center at 2-1809 Kaminarinom. It is easily spoted because of the nusical clock above the main entrance. Dolls of dancers and figures carrying a golden dragon appear every hour from 10:00 to 19:00.

2. If you have a Japanese friend with you, you can take a guided tour around Asakusa by a rickshaw - it will cost you 5000 yen for one person/ 8000 yen for a couple for a 30 minutes tour. You can find this service just outside the tourist information center, but it’s in Japanese only.

Many companies include the main Asakusa attraction into their morning or evening tour of Tokyo. This 4 hour tour will cost about 5,500 Yen for adult and 3,300 for a child. This is a good option if your stay in Tokyo is short, and you want to see as much as possible. Another plus of this program is that you can be peaked up directly from your hotel.
