Title: What Can You See on a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour of Tsukiji, Tokyo Tower, and Asakusa? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting Japan for the first time. This trip was a family celebration marking a personal milestone. Some of the guests loved sushi, so we began by enjoying a variety of tuna at a stand-up sushi spot in Tsukiji. We shared candied strawberries, and at the Tsukiji fish market building we bought tuna rolls and Shine Muscat grapes, which we enjoyed at the rest area on the third floor. After that, we took in various views of Tokyo from the main deck of Tokyo Tower, then moved on to Asakusa. In Asakusa, we visited Senso-ji Temple, Nakamise Street, and the five-story pagoda. Unfortunately, the omikuji fortune drawn was a "bad luck" one, but I explained that by tying it up, one can leave the bad luck behind. After visiting the main hall, the guests wished to spend more time in Asakusa on their own, so we parted ways there. The weather was fine, and I believe they enjoyed the day. They remarked that everything was very affordable and clean.

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Fumiko and Nino. We saw all the sights we wanted to see in Tokyo. Nino was able to move us efficiently through the city dropping of at the various sights and picking us up without waiting! Nino’s vehicle was comfortable and absolutely spotless. Fumiko reach out to us via email and made up an itinerary that was perfect for our time schedule she is a true professional! We highly recommend this tour and you could not find a better guide and driver combination than Fumiko and Nino.

We had a great time on our tour. Our guide, Fumiko, was very good. She contavted us about two weeks before the tour so she could customize the activities. She was incredibly helpful during all of the planning. She met us at our meering poit with a sign that had identified her, which made the start of the tour easy. Thw tour itself was awesome. She gave good insight about all the locations that we visited. I highly recommend her for any tours.

Don’t visit Tokyo without a guide! You’ll need help to find the good restaurants and interesting spots.
We had a tour with Ms. Fumiko. She was a both knowledgeable and nice guide. She even contacted us days beforehand to design the tour to meet our specific needs and wishes. Much appreciated!
