Title: What's a Private One-Day Tour of Tsukiji, Asakusa, and Meiji Shrine in Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests today were visitors from North America. We first visited Tsukiji and strolled around the area. They were surprised by the large number of international tourists. Since they had just finished breakfast, they did not sample anything in particular, and we moved on to Asakusa. In Asakusa, they showed interest in ningyo-yaki and enjoyed tasting some. They asked whether it was always this crowded, and when I answered that it feels like this whenever you come, they were amazed. Finally, we visited Meiji Shrine, where they were delighted to be able to see a traditional Shinto wedding ceremony.

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Yuji was an amazing guide. He was able to add so much information about all the sites we chose to see. He was very kind and when we were tired he suggested a stop for coffee. It revived us and we kept going.
I would highly recommend Yuji to any one visiting Tokyo.

We had a great experience with our 6 hour walking tour. Yuji was our guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful through the whole experience. He took us to places that were family friendly and recommended good places to eat and enjoy. We recommend him for your next trip to Tokyo!!!
