What's a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on the Imperial Palace, Asakusa, and Shibuya

Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. We traveled by chauffeured car and first strolled around Nijubashi Bridge and the Imperial Palace. Unfortunately it was raining a little, which was not ideal for taking photos, but everyone happily took commemorative pictures and enjoyed themselves. Next we moved on to Asakusa. Since everyone walking along the street was carrying umbrellas, I think it was a bit hard to see Nakamise and the surrounding area. After that we headed to Tsukishima and enjoyed monjayaki. I was able to confirm that monjayaki suits people who do not eat certain foods very well. Next we moved on to Meiji Shrine, and finally the group experienced the Shibuya Crossing before we parted ways.
