Our guide was very sweet and did her best to answer our questions but we didn’t get a lot of information or context for our tour of Sensoji. She knew quite a bit but seemed to be waiting for us to ask her questions. She had warmers for our hands and was generally solicitous, which I appreciated though!
Normally context doesn't disappoint us, this was the exception the tour was less than average
