Tokyo Customized Half-Day Tour — Guide Jimmy

Title: What Is a Private Asakusa and Tsukiji Walking Tour in Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a curious and close-knit group. At Senso-ji Temple, they asked a constant stream of questions about religion, history, Japanese views on faith, and the differences in how to worship at Buddhist temples versus Shinto shrines. One of the guests drew "dai-kichi" (great blessing) at the omikuji fortune stall, and the people around us cheered "Oh!" which made for a lively moment. Since it was their first day in Japan and the schedule was relaxed, we headed to the Tsukiji Outer Market. After looking at shops selling knives, ceramics, and chopsticks, they bought fresh nigiri sushi from a tuna wholesaler at the fish market and enjoyed it as lunch on the rooftop. I explained the transportation options to the places they planned to visit in the afternoon, and we parted ways on site.
