Title: What Is a Private Tokyo Sightseeing Tour by Taxi Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Kappabashi, and Tsukiji

The guest was a visitor from Oceania who was in Japan for the first time. The guest had already visited Kyoto and Nagoya the previous week and planned to return to Oceania this weekend after sightseeing in Tokyo. Since the guest had been experiencing leg and back pain from walking a great deal since arriving in Japan, at the guest's request all transportation for today's tour was by taxi. For this reason, there were no advance transportation costs to be reimbursed to the guide. At Senso-ji Temple, the guest listened with great interest to explanations about the difference between temples and shrines, as well as the Kaminarimon Gate. The guest also purchased an omamori charm as a souvenir. At Kappabashi Kitchen Town, the guest purchased three cooking knives, a teapot, and a teacup. At Tsukiji Market, the guest was amazed by the large number of tourists and shops. Since I responded to everything according to the guest's wishes, I believe the guest was satisfied.

Tour Report by Seizo

I am Seizo Kamiuto, National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (English). I was born in Kagoshima City in Kyushu (Southern part of Japan) and grew up there until the graduation from a high school. I came to Tokyo to enter a University in Tokyo and since then, I have lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years and therefore I know Tokyo and its suburbs and Kagoshima City very well. After retiring from an IT company, I have been working as a Guide Interpreter of English since March 2018. I have guided many overseas guests to the popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji area (Kawaguchiko Lake etc.), Hakone, Nikko, Yokohama, Kawagoe and Kagoshima and so on. I have received good reviews from many guests. I can explain the history and the culture of Japan in detail. I look forward to an opportunity to guide you in Japan. Thank you. Seizo Kamiuto
