Now, here's a little insider info: you gotta try on a traditional kimono at the Kimono Tea Ceremony Maikoya Tokyo. It's like stepping back in time and sipping on that matcha tea? Pure bliss.

As you and your host wander over to Sensoji Temple and Nakamise Shopping Street, they will fill you in on the juicy details of the temple's history. And trust me, you won't wanna miss the chance to snack on some freshly grilled senbei – it's seriously addictive.
