Your photographer and guide then lead you through the temple grounds, explaining Buddhist and Shinto traditions as you pose for shots among the architecture and vegetation. You'll walk to Azuma Bridge and other Asakusa districts, pausing frequently for photographs. The pace is unhurried—expect lots of standing and walking, with frequent stops to frame shots.
