Tokyo in Half a Day: Nagatacho → Oshiage — Guide Noriko

What Can You See on a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Before a Cruise? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were travel-loving visitors from North America who had arrived in Japan the previous night and were set to depart on a cruise around Japan from Yokohama that evening, so precise time management was essential for this tour. Since they had reserved Skytree before arriving in Japan, we went up to the observation deck smoothly. In Asakusa, the flower festival happened to be taking place, so we were able to visit an especially special Sensoji Temple. In Shibuya, they experienced actually crossing the Scramble Crossing. As it was the 90th anniversary event of Hachiko's passing, we took a commemorative photo with the Hachiko statue adorned with a floral wreath. Since they said they wanted to try a strawberry fruit sandwich recommended by a friend, we bought some at a shop in the basement of Hikarie. As we had time to spare, we had a light snack at the eat-in space beside it. We returned to the Hotel a little ahead of schedule and finished the tour safely. It was a short time, but the guests seemed to have enjoyed a rich taste of Tokyo.
