What Is a Private Walking Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Blessed with fine weather perfect for a stroll, it turned into a pleasant and enjoyable time. The guests, visiting from North America (with roots in South America), were experiencing Japan (Asia) for the first time, and they showed great interest in the culture and atmosphere, so different from what they were used to. In particular, one of the guests enjoyed conversation, and we exchanged all sorts of enjoyable information, including customs and food from South America. However, toward the end at Meiji Shrine, one of the guests became tired, so we turned back partway and returned to the Hotel.

In the cultural experience, if you know the spirit of the Japanese, then you can taste the essence of Japanese culture. About Japanese food and life-style, why don’t we chat about how people live in each country eating some good Japanese food? Then we can feel relaxed and discover something fun. I will live up to your expectations with my smile and hospitality. Let’s enjoy exploring the beautiful city together!
