What Can You See in a One-Day Private Tokyo Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. They were intelligent and well-mannered. They had already visited Kyoto and Osaka, and since today was their final day, they wished to see as many places as possible. We first visited Asakusa, and they were surprised to see it so crowded with international travelers, wondering whether it might be even busier than Kyoto. Next, we visited Meiji Shrine, where they were moved by the solemn atmosphere. After that, since some of the guests were fond of Pokemon, they experienced the Shibuya Crossing and then thoroughly enjoyed Cyberspace Shibuya. Finally, as some time remained, we strolled along Takeshita Street in Harajuku and parted ways at Omotesando.

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.
