Tokyo: Live Shamisen guitar and Izakaya Experience
Description
This tour allows you to enjoy Asakusa at night in a relaxed atmosphere that you cannot usually experience. In contrast to the glamorous Asakusa of the daytime, the atmosphere of Asakusa changes to one of calmness in the evening. It is during this time of the day, when the shopkeepers in the shopping district are closing their stores, that the bars shine brightly. This tour will take you to a bar where you can enjoy a performance by an award-winning shamisen player who has continued to practice while preserving the tradition. Enjoy the traditional Japanese instrumental music along with delicious sake and food.

It was a very unforgettable experience for me. I came to visit Japan in my spring festival with my parents. My dad love Japanese traditional culture and of course Sake. So I booked this tour. The guide introduced the history of Shamisen, and they played professionally. The atmosphere of the Izakaya was also wonderful. My parents loved it very much. That was their imagination of Izakaya. A great tour and I will recommand it to my friends.
