What's a Full-Day Private Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Ueno, Asakusa, Tokyo Tower, and Harajuku
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. We first went to Ameyoko in Ueno, where they enjoyed strolling through a shopping street that still retains a postwar atmosphere. Next, we moved to Asakusa, where they were amazed by the crowds at Kaminarimon and took many photos. After that, we went to a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant and fully enjoyed a sushi lunch, being impressed by the high quality and low prices. Next, we visited Tokyo Tower and enjoyed a panoramic view of Tokyo from the main deck. Finally, since one of the guests really wanted to visit Takeshita Street, we went there and they thoroughly enjoyed a charming animal cafe.

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.
