Getting started

Begin by entering your ticket code on the Roamer redemption page before you set off.

What to expect

Asakusa and Senso-ji area

This self-guided route focuses on Tokyo's oldest temple, Senso-ji, and its surrounding historic Asakusa district. Across 9 stops, you walk about 1.5 km at an easy pace, with time to pause for photos, snacks, or a closer look whenever you like.

Features

• You explore Senso-ji, Asakusa Shrine, Nakamise shopping street, Kaminarimon Gate, and the temple courtyard, as well as nearby streets in the Asakusa area, experiencing the district as it shifts from a busy market approach to active places of worship.
• The self-guided audio tour in English is narrated stop by stop, so you can listen to each section as you arrive, instead of trying to keep up with a live guide or group.
• Walking directions between all tour stops appear clearly on your screen, guiding you from one point to the next and helping you cross main roads such as Edo-dori safely using the signaled crossings.
• An interactive GPS map with live position shows where you are along the route, which makes it easier to navigate crowded areas like Nakamise and find quieter corners of the temple grounds.
• You access the tour directly via your phone browser, with no app download required, and you can also use the free Roamer iPhone app offline if you prefer to save mobile data.
• The purchase gives you lifetime access to the tour, so you can replay the walk, return at different times of day to see the main hall and pagoda lit from sunset until about 23:00, or explore new sections at your own pace on future visits.
• Start time is fully flexible, with no group schedule, so you can choose early morning for fewer crowds, late afternoon into dusk, or any other time that suits your day in Tokyo.
