Tokyo in Half a Day: From Kudanshita to Asakusa — Guide Noriko

Title: What Is a Relaxed Private Tour of Tokyo's Chidorigafuchi and Asakusa Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a group visiting Japan for the first time from Oceania. Since they preferred not to rush around to many places, we arranged a relaxed schedule: enjoying the cherry blossoms at Chidorigafuchi and then strolling around Asakusa. As part of the group moved by stroller, I had planned to check the locations of elevators in advance, but because of a sudden change in the itinerary I had not been able to confirm them, and there were many occasions where the stroller had to be carried up and down stairs and escalators. I felt apologetic about this, but I thought it was still better than running the tour the following day in the cold rain. It occasionally drizzled, and the guests did not have rain gear or warm clothing, and since they also wanted to visit the Pokémon Center, we ended up making our way to Oshiage on the spur of the moment.
