Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama by Car — Guide Noripy

Title: What's a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Like With a Licensed Guide? A Cruise Stopover Report

The guests were a group visiting Japan for the first time from North America. Their children are independent, and they enjoy traveling by cruise ship. This tour made use of a few days before boarding their cruise the day after next. The day before the Tokyo tour, they had taken a day trip to Okinawa by air. Due to Typhoon No. 10, the weather was a concern today as well, but it only rained a little at Shinjuku, the final stop of the day. At Sensoji Temple, the guests actively experienced drawing omikuji fortunes, the water purification ritual, and prayer, and had a great time.

For lunch, the guests expressed a strong wish to eat sushi, so we headed to the sushi restaurant in FUKURAS in Shibuya, where I usually take guests. However, it was fully booked and we could not get in. So, as a first attempt, I searched online for a sushi restaurant in Shibuya Scramble Square and secured a table by phone. We were able to move there ten minutes later. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and regarding the taste, the guests were highly satisfied, saying, "This is incomparably more delicious than the sushi at Japanese restaurants back home!"

Since there was a little time to spare after lunch, I gave them a brief tour of Meiji Jingu Shrine, which was not originally on the itinerary, and then we headed to Shinjuku. Golden Gai had originally been the requested destination, but when I introduced them to a similar alley of drinking establishments called "Omoide Yokocho," they said either one would be fine as long as it could be visited efficiently. So I guided them to "Omoide Yokocho," where it is easy to see inside the shops from the outside, and we entered a yakitori restaurant that was open at 2:30. Everyone enjoyed Sapporo beer. I struck up a conversation with some inbound visitors who had arrived earlier and ordered the "hatsu" with sauce that they were eating. When the guests timidly tried it, they were relieved and delighted, saying "Delicious!" and seemed to have a wonderful time.
