What's a Private Tokyo Sightseeing Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Akihabara, Asakusa, and Tokyo Tower

The guests were a group visiting from North America. It was their first time in Japan, and they planned to travel to Kyoto after sightseeing in Tokyo. The group had originally been expected to be larger, but one of them had to delay their arrival in Japan due to work, so the group was smaller than planned. At Tsukiji Market, the guests seemed surprised by the many shops of the Tsukiji fish market and the outer market, as well as by the large number of tourists. In Akihabara, some of the guests enjoyed shopping for clothing and anime-related goods at Yodobashi Camera, Uniqlo, and Don Quijote. In Asakusa, they enjoyed shopping along Nakamise Street and the view from the Asakusa Observation Cafe at the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center. At the Imperial Palace, they listened with great interest to historical explanations about the role of the Emperor, the Meiji Restoration, and the Edo Shogunate. At Tokyo Tower, the guests seemed impressed by the magnificent view of Tokyo. I responded to the guests' requests as they wished, so I believe they were satisfied.

Tour Report by Seizo

I am Seizo Kamiuto, National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (English). I was born in Kagoshima City in Kyushu (Southern part of Japan) and grew up there until the graduation from a high school. I came to Tokyo to enter a University in Tokyo and since then, I have lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years and therefore I know Tokyo and its suburbs and Kagoshima City very well. After retiring from an IT company, I have been working as a Guide Interpreter of English since March 2018. I have guided many overseas guests to the popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji area (Kawaguchiko Lake etc.), Hakone, Nikko, Yokohama, Kawagoe and Kagoshima and so on. I have received good reviews from many guests. I can explain the history and the culture of Japan in detail. I look forward to an opportunity to guide you in Japan. Thank you. Seizo Kamiuto
