What Can You See on a Private Tokyo Day Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Asakusa, and Kappabashi
Today's guests were visitors from North America. We met at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, where I explained how this stone-built temple differs from other temples. Next, we walked to Tsukiji Market and strolled around, where the guests were surprised by the large number of foreign tourists. After having lunch at a sushi restaurant in Tsukiji, we headed to Asakusa. I explained the Kaminarimon Gate and its large red lantern at Sensoji Temple, and we strolled along Nakamise. The guests tried ningyo-yaki and a strawberry treat, and they enjoyed drawing omikuji fortunes. Finally, we moved on to Kappabashi, where they purchased plastic food samples as souvenirs, and then we made our way to Shibuya, their next destination, where we parted 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.
