Private Tokyo Food-Focused Day Tour: A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Ginza, and Shibuya The guests were visiting Japan for the first time, having arrived the day before, and this was their first trip to Asia, though they had traveled frequently within Europe and had some previous experience visiting other parts of Asia. It seemed clear that gourmet food was one of the main purposes of this trip. They mentioned that in their home region there are many sushi restaurants, and that enjoying "omakase" is currently a popular trend there. One of the guests happily shared that a reservation had been made for the following day at a famous sushi restaurant in Ginza — described by the guest as one of the top five in Japan — for an "omakase" sushi dinner. Upon arriving at Tsukiji, the guests were about three times as excited as they had been at Nakamise Street in Asakusa. The first goal was to try "wagyu" beef. Since the price was quite high, I hesitated, but the guests kindly insisted that I join them, so I gratefully shared in the meal. They also tried beef cutlet. Right after that, they enjoyed nigiri sushi at a restaurant as well. In the afternoon, we had planned to visit Rikugien Garden and Meiji Shrine, but as one of the guests grew tired, we decided to skip the gardens and shrines — experiences that can also be had to some extent in Kyoto — and instead see Shibuya before returning to the hotel. As a result, we parted ways considerably earlier than scheduled. At our farewell, the guests noted that the Ginza Mitsukoshi I had introduced in the morning was within walking distance of the hotel, and said they wanted to buy and try various things at the basement food hall.

Hello, I’m Noripy.
I am a lively woman in my 60s who loves having fun. My charm lies in my bright and approachable personality. Drawing on over 30 years of international experience, I began working as a tour guide in 2023. I have conducted over 100 tours annually, ensuring that my clients enjoy Tokyo and its surrounding areas. I have received high praise from a wide range of customers, from teenagers to people in their 80s. I cater to solo travelers, couples, newlyweds, families, and groups of up to about 10 people. Living in the heart of the city, I actively guide tours primarily in Tokyo. In addition to being certified in English, one of my strengths is being able to communicate effectively in Spanish as well.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all in Tokyo!

Best Post cruise tour ever
It was a GREAT TOUR with Noripy! With a family of many different ages and walking levels this was fantastic. We were picked up from our cruise in Yokohama and dropped off at Haneda airport. We had about 10 hours before our flight and it went flawlessly.

Noripy was excellent! She guided us through several parts of the city: Imperial Palace, Tokyo Station, Tokyo Tower, Sangedatsumon, Zojo-ji, Meiji Jingu, and Golden Gai. A great way to see many Tokyo sites and get acquainted with the city on your first day!

Lovely experience. My guide was an absolutely adorable lady who managed to fit all the iconic Tokyo spots into my 6-hour tour without anything feeling rushed. She was knowledgeable, organised, and genuinely kind. Toward the end she even helped me with some shopping, which I really appreciated. A wonderful introduction to Tokyo and a guide I’d happily recommend….

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Noripy gave a 5/5 tour! She provided useful instruction for public transport use, fascinating historical information, spiritual customs and current cultural practices- All with an infectious smile and never ending positive energy. Noripy’s tour allowed us to made the most of the rest of our time in Tokyo. I feel like we did 5 days of sightseeing in 6 hrs! But Noripy made sure to always check if we wanted a break. Our tour was customized for my 2 teenage kids and I, and if we saw or thought of something along the way that interested us, Noripy accommodated! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo. And you will be extra lucky to get Noripy for your guide!
