Title: What's a Private Evening Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Skytree, and Shinjuku
The guests were visitors from North America. On the day of the tour, they traveled from Hakone to Tokyo to join the tour. Because the buses in Hakone were crowded and there was no internet connection, they ended up boarding a local bus, so the tour started a little later than planned. In Asakusa, they enjoyed sightseeing at the five-story pagoda and the Hozomon Gate, and had fun drawing a "daikichi" (great blessing) fortune with the omikuji. After enjoying the view from the observation deck of Tokyo Skytree, we went to a nearby Kura Sushi. Since they had not had time for lunch, they especially enjoyed a variety of sushi and desserts. They also won a prize from the sushi restaurant's lottery game and enjoyed shooting to receive a reward. Although the guests were quite tired, they were amazed by the atmosphere of Kabukicho in Shinjuku. They were especially surprised by Golden Gai. Afterward, I saw them off at their hotel and concluded the tour. I felt that evening tours can also be enjoyable during this season.

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Fumiko and Nino. We saw all the sights we wanted to see in Tokyo. Nino was able to move us efficiently through the city dropping of at the various sights and picking us up without waiting! Nino’s vehicle was comfortable and absolutely spotless. Fumiko reach out to us via email and made up an itinerary that was perfect for our time schedule she is a true professional! We highly recommend this tour and you could not find a better guide and driver combination than Fumiko and Nino.

We had a great time on our tour. Our guide, Fumiko, was very good. She contavted us about two weeks before the tour so she could customize the activities. She was incredibly helpful during all of the planning. She met us at our meering poit with a sign that had identified her, which made the start of the tour easy. Thw tour itself was awesome. She gave good insight about all the locations that we visited. I highly recommend her for any tours.

Nice tour of Tokyo
Don’t visit Tokyo without a guide! You’ll need help to find the good restaurants and interesting spots.
We had a tour with Ms. Fumiko. She was a both knowledgeable and nice guide. She even contacted us days beforehand to design the tour to meet our specific needs and wishes. Much appreciated!
