What Can You See on a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya
The guests were a group visiting from North America. They had already traveled to places such as Singapore and were spending their final days in Tokyo before returning home. It was their first time in Japan, and they had arrived in late in the month. At Tsukiji, they enjoyed tuna and beer, and since one of the guests loved matcha, they purchased matcha and black soybeans and enjoyed exploring the outer market. In Asakusa, they visited Senso-ji Temple and also enjoyed some delicious conveyor-belt sushi. They remarked that Meiji Shrine was very beautiful, and they found the children dressed for Shichi-Go-San celebrations adorable. On Takeshita Street, they enjoyed ice cream and had fun seeing micro pigs, and in Shibuya they crossed the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, took photos from Starbucks, and then returned to the Hotel. The weather was wonderful and they said it was great to be able to visit so many different places, so I believe they truly enjoyed the day.

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!

Fumiko is a great tour guide – informative, friendly and very well prepared.
Fumiko was a great tour guide given she was very knowledgeable about the key tourist sites that we visited and history of Japan. Fumiko was a great communicator who reached out very early to design our six-hour tour of Tokyo. Unfortunately we spent a lot of time on the underground to get to the sites that we wanted to visit. My advice is to test with Fumiko early the likely time that you will spend on transport over the course of the day so you do not spend unnecessary time on public transport. Probably do ot need a tour guide to go to the markets. Highly recommend Fumiko.
