What's a Full-Day Private Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Tsukiji, Harajuku, and Shibuya
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. We first visited Asakusa. Since it was early in the morning, it was relatively uncrowded, so we were able to look around at a leisurely pace. Next, we moved on to Tsukiji and strolled through the Tsukiji Market. As it was getting close to noon, it started to become crowded and walking was a bit difficult. We enjoyed a sushi lunch at a sushi restaurant I had reserved, and the guests said it was extremely delicious. Next, we strolled through Harajuku and Omotesando. When I told them that this was the Champs-Élysées of Tokyo, they agreed that it was very similar. After that, we walked through Meiji Shrine, and finally the guests experienced the Shibuya Crossing. They were amazed, saying it looked just like Times Square in New York.

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.
