Tokyo 6-Hour Private Tour Report: What Can a Licensed Guide Cover from Asakusa to Ginza?

Tour name: Tokyo 6 Hours Weather: Typhoon rain, 24°C Guests: A group visiting from Europe

【First stop】Asakusa After looking out over the whole of Asakusa from the 8th floor of the Culture and Tourism Center (commemorative stamp), we strolled through Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise Street, and Senso-ji Temple. The guests experienced Japanese culture, including drawing omikuji fortunes, standing in the smoke of the large incense burner, purifying at the water pavilion, and praying at Senso-ji Temple (goshuin seal stamp). I explained Buddhism and Shinto.

【Second stop】Tokyo National Museum We set aside 40 minutes of free time so the guests could take a quick look at the exhibits on Japanese culture and history (another commemorative stamp here), followed by a ramen lunch at Ueno Station.

【Third stop】Tokyo Station → KITTE Building From the red-brick station building we walked to KITTE. In the old postmaster's office, the guests posed for photos playing the role of the postmaster.

【Fourth stop】Ginza We went to Nissan Crossing → Itoya (stationery), where the guests shopped for their favorite stationery items. We parted ways there.
