Tokyo Top 5 Must-Sees in 1 Day Tour with Licensed Guide

What Is a Private Tokyo Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Kappabashi, Omotesando, and Shibuya

The guests were a group from Europe. They were very modest and spoke English slowly, which was very helpful. Since the Hotel was in Asakusa, we started by strolling around Senso-ji Temple. Despite the weather, they enjoyed it very much. At Nakamise, one of the guests purchased souvenirs and admired the beautiful Japanese ukiyo-e prints. When I explained why everyone eagerly waves the incense smoke over various parts of their bodies at the incense burner, they happily tried it themselves. One of the guests kept asking about the difference between shrines and temples and tried hard to memorize it. At Kappabashi, since one of the guests was very interested in food samples, I introduced a sample shop, and they were delighted to purchase several samples. For lunch they had sushi, and they commented that sushi in their home city looks less beautiful because the toppings are all the same, while Japanese sushi is colorful and wonderful. I explained that in Japanese cuisine, presentation is just as important as taste, which impressed them greatly. On Omotesando, I took them to a specialty shop for hair ornaments (kanzashi), where they purchased a kanzashi and an umbrella. When I asked whether they had streets like Omotesando back home, they explained enthusiastically. On Takeshita Street, some of the guests were thrilled by an animal cafe. Finally, at Shibuya Crossing, they eagerly took photos. When we said our goodbyes, they kindly told me that although the weather was not very good, it had been a very enjoyable day. That is all.
