What Is a Private Tokyo Tour Like for Guests Visiting the East Gardens, Tsukiji, and Asakusa? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting Japan from Oceania. One of the guests used a walker, so I made an effort to use elevators and escalators as much as possible throughout the day. The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace were full of natural beauty, and the guests took many photos there. They said the buildings and the Japanese garden were beautiful. The group seemed especially fond of Tsukiji, though some of the guests did not care much for raw fish. At Asakusa, they again remarked that the buildings were magnificent. They wanted to walk along the Sumida River, so we strolled a little before returning to the Hotel. After traveling in Japan, the group planned to continue their travels to another destination.

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!
