Title: What Does a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Cover? Asakusa, Tsukiji, Kabukiza, and the Imperial Palace: A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were visitors from North America. One of the guests had visited Japan before but did not remember much of the details. After this tour, the group planned to travel by ship from Yokohama Port for five days, stopping at three ports in Japan along the way. We first visited Asakusa, strolling around while I explained an overview of the area. Next, we moved to Tsukiji, where the guests wished to enjoy authentic sushi, so we had lunch at a sushi restaurant I had reserved in advance. After that, we moved to the Kabukiza Theatre, where we explored the gallery and read about the history of kabuki in English. The guests remarked that it was truly similar to Shakespeare. Finally, we visited the Imperial Palace, where the group was deeply impressed by the depth of Japanese history.

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.
