What Is a Private Tokyo Tour Including Ueno Park and the National Museum Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a group visiting Japan together. They were very interested in Japan, and we talked about many different things. As they wished to part ways at Tokyo Station rather than returning to their hotel, the car took us as far as Nijubashi, and I said goodbye to them at Tokyo Station. The weather was cloudy, but the cherry blossoms in Ueno Park were in full bloom and very beautiful. They viewed the exhibits at the Tokyo National Museum very carefully and attentively. Everyone in the group got along well and showed great intellectual curiosity, which made guiding them truly rewarding. As they wished to see the cherry blossoms at night, they mentioned that they would return to Ueno Park again in the evening.
