What's a Full-Day Private Food and Culture Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Akihabara, Ameyoko, Asakusa, and Kappabashi The tour was originally scheduled to start from the accommodation, but to allow more time for the tour itself, we changed the meeting point to Tsukiji. At the Tsukiji Outer Market, I suggested and had the guests purchase and enjoy fatty tuna slices, tamagoyaki, strawberry daifuku, and wagyu sushi. In addition, they sampled and tasted dried goods, beans, tea, and dashi stock, and also made some purchases. Including the foods I suggested, the guests were very satisfied. We arrived in Akihabara a little after 10:00, but since several of the planned destinations did not open until 11:00, we could not visit them; however, I selected other places and adapted accordingly. At Ameyoko, I guided the guests to a large confectionery wholesaler, and while they were amazed by the wide variety of sweets, they found and purchased several unusual ones. They also enjoyed exploring Ameyoko in general. In Asakusa, the guests enjoyed the underground shopping area, and were satisfied with the sightseeing in Asakusa as well as guidance around the Hoppy Street area and pachinko parlors. For lunch, they requested sushi, and I had originally planned to take them to an authentic sushi restaurant, but when I called to make a reservation, I was told that lunch service was suspended. While I was considering alternatives, there was a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant nearby, so I asked whether they would like to try it — not authentic, but reasonably priced and delicious — and after some thought they agreed, so I guided them there, and in the end they were very satisfied. Finally, they also strolled with great interest around Kappabashi. In the end, the guests were very grateful, saying it had been a truly fulfilling day.
