Tokyo Customized Full-Day Private Tour — Guide Noripy

Title: What Is a Private Tokyo Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Aoyama, Shibuya, and Sushi

The guests were visitors from Europe. One of them had been to Japan before but only for work and had never had the chance to sightsee, and although they had traveled all over the world, it had always been for work, going back and forth between the hotel and the workplace without any sightseeing. As we chatted throughout the tour, it turned out that one of the guests had an extraordinary background in motorsport, with many years of experience and even a major race victory. They kindly showed me many photos available online, as this was a person publicly recognized as a celebrity. I was amazed and deeply honored. They also mentioned that a younger family member is now racing as well, and shared some family photos on their smartphone. This visit to Japan also included work related to a Formula 1 race, and they planned to spend three days in Tokyo, followed by five days at the circuit area and four days in Kyoto. They told me their highest recorded speed had been 400 kilometers per hour, and that the sensation at that moment was almost like floating in mid-air. True to an athlete, the guests walked at such a fast pace that, for the first time, I had to trot to keep up. They were remarkably good walkers, and I was truly impressed. Thanks to that, we were able to move from place to place efficiently, and even though we had added a walk through Aoyama Cemetery at the start, we still had plenty of time to add a visit to Shibuya, which had not been in the original plan, before taking a bus back to Roppongi. For lunch, I guided them to Gransta Yaesu North, where one of the guests chose tempura, but since another wanted sushi, I guided them to a sushi restaurant in the basement. They enjoyed tekka rolls and three kinds of salmon. One of the guests was interested in matcha, and having heard it is good for health, purchased two bags of premium matcha along with a bamboo whisk and a bamboo scoop. At checkout, they also requested two wrapping bags, so I assumed they were gifts for friends, but in the end they presented them to me as their guide, which moved me greatly.
