What Can You See on a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from Oceania. We first visited the Imperial Palace. It was relatively uncrowded that day, so we were able to explore comfortably, and the guests were amazed by the beauty of the Ninomaru Garden. Next, we visited the Tokyo National Museum in Ueno and viewed the special exhibition featuring the works of Unkei. We then moved to Odaiba, where we took a commemorative photo in front of the Statue of Liberty replica, and the guests were overwhelmed by the size of the life-sized Gundam statue. Finally, we headed to the Radio Kaikan building in Akihabara, where the guests experienced Japanese anime and figures, before returning to the Hotel and parting ways.

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.
