Title: What's a One-Day Private Tokyo Tour Like Between a Cruise Arrival and an Evening Flight? A Licensed Guide's Report This tour was booked by cruise ship guests who arrived at Harumi in the morning and wanted to make good use of their time until an evening flight that same day. Since the route agreed upon in advance included places the guests had already visited before, we set that aside and agreed on a new route before setting off. The guests seemed to enjoy every place we visited. However, as they had just had a big breakfast, they were unable to eat anything even at Tsukiji. Along the way, we picked up coffee at Starbucks to refresh, which allowed us to guide at a relaxed pace. At the guests' request, we finished a little early, and the guests then headed straight to Narita.

Title: What Is a Private Walking Tour of Sapporo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report Although there was a bit of wind, it turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far. The cherry blossom season had not yet arrived in Sapporo, but the weather was ideal for a walking tour. [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) guide led a private walking tour focused mainly on places that require explanations of cultural and historical background, and the guests listened attentively, which made the guiding very easy. The guests were a lively group who moved between locations very smoothly, so there was no need to worry about walking pace.

Tour Report by Tom

I was born and raised in Hokkaido and have been a resident of Sapporo for over 30 years. I have been actively involved in guiding tourists around the scenic spots of Hokkaido, primarily focusing on Sapporo. Even before becoming a licensed interpreter guide, I engaged in volunteer activities to assist and guide foreigners, providing me with valuable opportunities to delve into the rich culture and history of Hokkaido.
Hokkaido is renowned for its exceptional culinary scene, and I am well-versed in gourmet information. I believe I can offer an excellent experience by guiding individuals through the highly acclaimed food experiences that Hokkaido has to offer.

What's a Private Cruise Port Day Tour of Takamatsu Like? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests were visitors from North America who came to Takamatsu as part of a cruise ship tour visiting various regions of Japan (Tokyo, Hakodate, Toyama, Sakaiminato, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Takamatsu, Kobe, and more). I guided them around Ritsurin Garden, Shikoku Mura, and Takamatsu Castle, and they listened attentively to my explanations. Because we used a taxi, we were able to visit all three places. The weather was wonderful, and the guests enjoyed the classic sights of Takamatsu. I was also fortunate to have such lovely guests, and it was a pleasure to guide them.

Tour Report by Kaji

Hello. My name is Hisao Kaji. I was born in 1945. I was raised in Takamatsu City from 3 years old. So, I have been living in Takamatsu for around 75 years. I believe I know Takamatsu City and the Kagawa prefecture area very well. If you come to Takamatsu, Kagawa I think you can enjoy your tour with me. I started a Government Licensed Guide in 2019. So, I have been a licensed guide for about 5 years. My favorite destinations are Naoshima, Teshima, Ritsurin Garden, the top of Mt. Yashima and so on. I always show you an itinerary about one month before your tour date, and I will accept any questions, other favorite places you want to visit. Communicating with you, I would like to accommodate your request for your tour. I always listen to NPR on the internet to know how the world is moving and improve my English. I like conversation based upon it with my life. I stayed in the USA for 8 months for a Power Systems Engineering Course conducted by General Electric in New York State when I was 28 years old. I sometimes talk about my memory of those days with the guests. I am very happy to guide tourists because I can see the guests become happy and enjoy themselves when I am guiding better. Nothing is more wonderful than that. I welcome your visit to Takamatsu City and Kagawa Prefecture. I believe you will have a pleasant time through my guide.

Tour Itinerary

Hotel Ginza 5-chome (9:00) > (09:15) Tsukiji Outer Market (11:10) > (11:20) Nijubashi ~ Higashi-Gyoen (12:50) > (13:20) Asakusa (15:10) > (15:25) Yanaka (17:40) > (18:00) Tokyo Station

Title: What Is a Full-Day Private Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, the Imperial Palace, Asakusa, and Yanaka The weather was clear and sunny, warm enough to work up a light sweat. I met the guests in the hotel lobby at 9:00. Since the hotel was in the Higashi-Ginza area, we walked to the Tsukiji Outer Market. We had coffee and breakfast at a café in front of the outer market, then headed into the market itself. At the Tsukiji Outer Market, the guests enjoyed sweets, sea urchin, yakitori, and eel, and also purchased a kitchen knife. After that, we traveled from Higashi-Ginza to Hibiya, and I guided the group from the Nijubashi Bridge into the East Gardens. We strolled from the main keep to the Ninomaru Garden, exited through the Hirakawa Gate, and headed to Takebashi Station. The guests had been most looking forward to Asakusa. They purchased a folding fan as a souvenir at Nakamise, had a light snack of takoyaki and fried chicken from the street stalls, and then received goshuin stamps at both Sensoji Temple and Asakusa Shrine in a goshuin book they said they had bought in Kyoto. We had originally planned to go from Ueno Park to Yanaka next, but since the guests wanted to save Ueno Park for last, we took a taxi directly to Yanaka to save time. In Yanaka, they again spent more than 30 minutes purchasing reasonably priced souvenirs such as folding fans and kitchen knives. Since Asakusa had finished earlier than scheduled, we had some time to spare, but places like the Toshogu Shrine in Ueno Park were only open until 17:00. At the guests' request, they wanted advice on planning their own tours for the following days, so we spent the remaining time resting at a Starbucks in Yanaka, discussing their upcoming destinations, and chatting. As there was still a little time before the 18:00 end time, and they mentioned they were heading to a hotel, I guided them by train to Tokyo Station, one stop before Yurakucho, and finished at 18:00. From our prior communications, I had also provided information covering their journey to Tokyo, including Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I supported them by confirming hotel cancellations and changes, and a few days before the tour I helped change a reservation at a high-end sushi restaurant, so quite a bit of time was spent outside the actual tour itself. They were very grateful, and the guests were both very kind, our conversations flowed easily, and it was a truly pleasant group to spend time with. This was a trip marking their 25th anniversary, planned two years in advance, and I believe I was able to help create lasting memories. By assisting with various things, I was also able to broaden my own knowledge in many ways.

Tour Report by Marky

Nice to meet you. I’m Masayuki. Please call me Marky. After three years’ experience as a non-licensed guide, I took out the guide license as a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I have been living in Tokyo for over 25 years in total with some intervals. Not to mention famous historical places such as East gardens of the Imperial Palace, which is the former Edo castle, Meiji Shrine, Senso-ji temple and Ueno Park, I can show you around other places in Tokyo and surrounding areas. My policy is that I make in-depth research of the destinations even if I am not familiar with the place. Tokyo does not stop changing and continues to be renewed while it keeps traditions and remnants of the history. It is very exciting to know the things of the city. I am looking forward to guiding you and exploring this marvelous place.

⑥　13:30　Arashiyama Monkey Park
⑦　15:20　Disband at JR Kyoto Station

Can You Do a Private Day Tour of Kyoto's Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests were a group visiting from North America, who had been to Tokyo several times before but were visiting Kyoto for the first time. They planned to see Kyoto today and Osaka the next day. They were bright and cheerful people. One of the guests was at an age where things like taking photos or choosing meals and sweets could be a bit tricky, which reminded me of a certain period in my own family life. Even so, after spending the whole day together, by the end they were laughing and chatting with me warmly. The original plan was to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha, then move to Arashiyama to see representative spots such as the bamboo grove, Jojakko-ji, and Tenryu-ji. However, when we met first thing in the morning, the wishes had changed — some of the guests wanted to go to the monkey park, while another wanted to visit the Philosopher's Path, and we could not settle on where to go. In the end, a decisive word from one of the guests set the plan: Fushimi Inari, then lunch in Arashiyama, then the Togetsukyo Bridge and the monkey park, with everything after that to be decided as we went. At Fushimi Inari, the shopping for torii and fox-themed goods went on endlessly, and in Arashiyama they lined up at a sweets shop, so in the end we only visited two spots. Since it was a private tour, my attitude was: please spend the day exactly as you like, and I will follow you wherever you go — and we had a wonderful time. I love teaching guests the word "ookini," and today's guests took a real liking to it, saying it everywhere in shops and being delighted when the staff smiled. It was funny to see one of the guests, who I had expected to be quite reserved, enthusiastically repeating "ookini." At the monkey park, they enjoyed the baby monkeys and the spectacular view of Kyoto from the summit. In the end, we said goodbye with "ookini" at JR Kyoto Station. I made sure to remind them not to use "ookini" once they returned to Tokyo. After this, they headed to TeamLab BioVortex Kyoto.

Title: What Is a Private Walking Tour of Hiroshima Like? A Licensed Guide's Report For this walking tour, no transportation costs were incurred. During the tour, we walked while I introduced Hiroshima's local foods and the industrial products for which the city holds a top market share. The nijuyaki (a type of filled griddle cake) that I mentioned soon after we met turned out to be sold at the same shop we found at SOGO partway through the tour, so the group enjoyed tasting it together, along with a baumkuchen that originated in Hiroshima. Since the guests also wanted to try okonomiyaki, I introduced several places for it during the tour. Although we were not able to buy the Andersen bread during the tour, the guests were very interested in it and talked about buying it at the station. After visiting the Fukuromachi Elementary School Peace Museum, the guests said, "Thank you for bringing us here."

Tour Report by miki

Dear guests,
Hello! My name is Miki. I was born and brought up in Hiroshima. I enjoy traveling around Inland Sea areas and I enjoy chatting with guests from overseas!

In Hiroshima, you can see many beautiful rivers and old bridges. Lately, I often take photos of Hiroshima city including bridges and rivers. There are not many tall buildings here, but I know some places you can visit and see the view for free. By the atomic bomb dome, there is a building called Orizuru(paper crane) Tower. You need to pay to go up to the top floor but you can see the view of Hiroshima city and the Miyajima Island(Itsukushima).

Many tourists from overseas as well as Japan want to visit Miyajima Island. You can see a beautiful shrine from Heian Period which is around 12th century and a huge Torii gate in front of the shrine and it is in the water. There are several ways to visit the island from Hiroshima city. If you are going to stay near JR Hiroshima Station, we will visit the island by JR train and JR ferry. If you are staying in the city area, we can go there by streetcar and ferry, or there is a high-speed boat from Peace Memorial Park pier directly to the island and vise versa.

Hoping to see you in the near future!

Title: What's a Full-Day Private Tokyo Tour with a Car Like? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests had switched to a plan with a vehicle in advance of their trip due to a foot injury. I had planned to adjust the itinerary flexibly depending on their condition on the day, but they had recovered more than expected and were able to keep walking at a slow pace, so they were able to enjoy the tour to the fullest. We saw the azalea festival at Nezu Shrine, enjoyed street food and shopping in the Yanaka shopping street, walked the entire Nakamise, and took a tea break at Sumida Park while looking at the Skytree. At their request we also visited the East Gardens, and we were able to see everything without any trouble, so the guests seemed to feel a real sense of accomplishment. They told me many times how much they had enjoyed it, which was a great relief to me as well.

What Is a Private Miyajima and Hiroshima Tour Like for a Group? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests were a group of visitors from North America. Since some members of the group preferred to avoid walking as much as possible, I guided them to Itsukushima Shrine and Daiganji Temple. One of the guests wished to visit a shopping mall and left the group at the Peace Memorial Museum, so I guided the remaining guests to Miyajima. The guests seemed to particularly enjoy shopping, and they made a large number of purchases at an anime shop in Miyajima. They were also very pleased with the café we stopped at in Miyajima and the fried momiji manju.

What Does a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Cover? A Licensed Guide's Report on Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Palace, and Senso-ji The guests were a group visiting Japan for the first time from Europe. After sightseeing in Tokyo, they were planning to go on a cruise tour. At Meiji Shrine, they seemed impressed by the quiet and solemn atmosphere, which was very different from Shibuya. At the Imperial Palace, they listened with interest to historical explanations about the role of the Emperor, the Meiji Restoration, and the Edo shogunate. At Senso-ji, they listened with interest to explanations about the difference between temples and shrines, as well as the Kaminarimon Gate. The weather was fine today, and since I accommodated the guests' wishes as requested, I believe they were satisfied.

What Is a Private Miyajima and Hiroshima Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests were visitors from North America. They were traveling in Japan and other parts of Asia for about a month. From the moment we met, they were very friendly and conversation flowed naturally. Some of the guests were interested in Japanese culture and others in history, so I received many questions, and while also learning about the culture and language of their home region, it became a warm and enjoyable tour. Since it was a special trip, I took many photos of the guests at scenic spots. As their stay in Hiroshima was only for the day, they wished to see the Peace Memorial Museum as well, so I saw them to the museum entrance and ended the tour there. It was very memorable that one of the guests noticed and picked up litter on the beach at Miyajima. It was an honor to guide these wonderful guests on their special trip.

Tour Report by Mari

Hello. My name is Mari.
I am a certified local tour guide in Hiroshima.

I was born and grew up in Hiroshima until I entered in a university in Tokyo.
After 6 years in Tokyo, I came back to Hiroshima because I really love my hometown and wanted to spend the rest of my life here.

Hiroshima is very comfortable city to live in and rich in nature.
I am so happy that I have been able to raise my kids here.

Hiroshima is absolutely full of beautiful and historically important places and also the great food.
I am so excited to introduce the wonderful experiences here in Hiroshima and hope you will come to love this place, too.
