Title: What's a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Yanaka, and Shibuya
The guests were travelers from North America who love traveling. They were staying in Japan for an extended period by cruise, and the tour day was their final day. They had already visited Meiji Shrine and the Imperial Palace, and requested to visit Asakusa and Shibuya. Taking the weather and conditions of the day into account, we decided on the other destinations together. After visiting Sensoji Temple, it began to rain, so I suggested a finger puppet show in Yanaka. When it finished, the rain had eased, so on the way to Nezu Shrine and Shibuya, we stopped by Nijubashi Bridge and Ginza. The guests were very pleased, telling me it had been a truly meaningful and enjoyable day.

Our guide Yuko Ohmori was wonderful. We met at our hotel and focused our tour on unique neighborhoods of Tokyo. The trip she arranged with weather related adjustments exceeded our expectations with many hidden gems. We finished our tour with a new friend that we’d definitely use again and recommend to anyone wanting an authentic day trip.

We enjoyed Tokyo tour with Yuko. She was very flexible and determined to fulfill our wishes. We saw historical places as well as some modern ones. We managed also to visit Pokemon Center which was a dream of our son. It was a great day in Tokyo despite of the rainy weather. Thank you Yuko.
