We were with Nori and Haruka, and the experience was amazing, we walked around every corner of Senjoji Temple, and that area of Asakusa, and learned a lot of Japanese culture because of them. And all this dressed in amazing and beautiful Kimonos. Haruka was willing to take the pictures we wanted. A highly recommended experience.
