What's a Private Tokyo Sightseeing Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Senso-ji, Nezu Shrine, and the Imperial Palace
Today's guest was a visitor from Europe. Because they had undergone hip surgery, normal walking was not a problem, but going up and down stairs was very difficult, so we used elevators and escalators as much as possible for getting around. We first visited Senso-ji Temple, where I explained all the key points. The guest showed great interest in praying at the main hall, so I explained how to pray at temples and shrines, and they prayed with sincere devotion. Next, we visited Nezu Shrine, where they viewed the azalea garden and passed through the thousand torii gates, and were moved by the beauty. Since they had walked quite a lot and wanted to rest, we took an hour to savor lunch. Finally, we visited the Imperial Palace, where they happily strolled through the Ninomaru Garden.

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.
