Title: What Is a Rainy-Day Private Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, the Imperial Palace, and Toyosu Market

This was the second day of the tour, continuing from the previous day. Unfortunately it turned rainy, so we slightly changed the original plan and visited the indoor Toyosu Market instead of Odaiba. This was decided on the morning of the tour after consulting with the guests. For the first destination, Asakusa, I had considered viewing it only from the car depending on conditions, but since the rain had eased when we got out, we were able to walk—briefly—from Kaminarimon through Nakamise Street to Nitenmon. One of the guests remarked being "a little disappointed" by the Buddhist temple crowded with tourists. Having already visited Kyoto, they had experienced crowds before, but I imagine it differed from their image of an old Buddhist temple. At the Imperial Palace, despite the rain, they enjoyed the stroll and took a commemorative photo in front of Nijubashi. Toyosu Market became a last-minute addition. One of the guests loves fish so much they could eat sashimi every day, while another does not eat raw fish, so unfortunately it did not become a sushi lunch, but at the tuna auction hall I was able to explain the unique auction proceedings, which they listened to with interest. Some of the guests also showed interest in the produce building, and we were able to explore the whole of Toyosu Market. Finally, we had lunch around Tokyo Station, and the guests chose a Western-style restaurant located inside the Shin-Marunouchi Building. Since one of the guests has an allergy, they could not have the appetizer soup, but they had a hamburg steak set meal, and another had a chicken sauté set meal, and they were satisfied. As there was no time to enjoy shopping after lunch, I introduced places such as Mitsukoshi and GSIX so that the guests could enjoy the shopping they were looking forward to the next day in Ginza. When I saw them off at the hotel and said goodbye, they were very satisfied.
