Our FIRST TIME in Japan 🇯🇵 24 Hours in Asakusa, Tokyo + Japan Tips (東京)

Join us for our first 24 hours in Japan as we explore the iconic district of Asakusa in Tokyo! From must-see landmarks like Senso-ji Temple to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots, we show you how to have the perfect day in this vibrant neighborhood. Along the way, we share our first impressions of Japan, dive into the bustling streets, savor delicious Japanese street food, and even make a pit stop at a 7-11 for a uniquely Japanese convenience store experience. This video is packed with lots of travel tips and unforgettable moments. Come see why Asakusa and Tokyo stole our hearts!

👋About Us
We're Juliana and Martín! She’s from the USA, he’s from Mexico. We’re here to help you travel deeper and escape your comfort zone.

Think the travel world’s only split into hardcore backpackers and tick-the-box tourists? We call nonsense. You’re out to see a destination’s must see spots, but also to sneak off the tourist path to find the spots that only locals go. You’re chasing experiences with value, and we’ve got you. When you travel with us, it’s no fluff, just the good stuff—because your vacation deserves more than just scratching the surface.
