Tokyo Private Walking Tour Report: What Did a Licensed Guide Cover from Tsukiji to Shinjuku?
1. You had a mintage here? 2. Why is the land so expensive? 3. Yeah, I saw pictures depicting the history of the temple. 4. Oh, this is a kindergarten run by the temple. 5. (A scooter rider) No helmet! They may be hit and get injured. 6. Oh, 2,500 cars were submerged in the floodwater of an underpass. That was last month in Chiba. 7. We have a day for the dead. You have "obon." 8. Is today the 1400th anniversary of the shrine? 9. I want to see the 3D cat in Shinjuku. Oh, Godzilla. 10. I've been to 25 foreign countries.
Note: At the request of the guests, we spent extra time exploring the back alleys and street shops in Tsukiji. They chose to skip Meiji Shrine, pass through Shibuya, and be dropped off at the east exit of Shinjuku.
This private walking tour began in Tsukiji, where the guests enjoyed the lively back alleys and street shops of the outer market area. A notable stop on the tour was the Tsukiji Outer Market, a bustling district in Tokyo famous for its fresh seafood, produce, and street food stalls. While the inner wholesale market has moved to Toyosu, the outer market remains a popular destination where visitors can sample local specialties, browse cooking utensils, and experience the atmosphere of one of Tokyo's most iconic food areas. From Tsukiji, the tour continued through Shibuya before concluding near the east exit of Shinjuku, giving the guests a chance to see several distinct sides of the city in a single day.

Hello, welcome to Japan you all.
I’m a resident of Ebina, Kanagawa, and am a national government licensed guide and interpreter.
I enjoy showing travelers both the new and old of central Honshu, primarily Tokyo and Kanagawa, ranging from Meiji Shrine, Edo Castle, Tsukiji Outer Market, Ueno, Asakusa, Ginza, Ginza Sky Farmstead, Shibuya Zebra Crossings, Yokohama, Kamakura, to Hakone, not to mention Mt. Fuji, and sharing views with my guests on Japanese homes and their surroundings, Japan’s labor productivity and labor market, among others.
I also enjoy introducing travelers to Japanese culture through home visits with Japanese families, touring Zen temples, and explaining the intricacies of Japanese culture.
I am happy to arrange personalized tours to other places of your interest.
I am making the most of my long experience as a foreign language education service, escorting VIPs at the Sony showroom in Ginza, Tokyo.
I also offer services to help families and individuals relocating to Japan with immigration VISA applications.
My hobbies are movies, strolling along the river in my neighborhood and am a novice at la lingua Italiano.
Let’s enjoy touring together, shall we?

Hideaki was our guide today and he did an outstanding job. We walked in the rain but he did the best to show us as much of Tokyo as possible.

Private guide – a very good experience
We spent a half day with Hideaki Wada, which can be highly recommended. He was on time on the spot, very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and spoke good English. We made a plan, followed it and ended up with a little extra time.

Unforgettable day in Tokyo with Hideaki — incredible with kids
Hideaki was the highlight of our time in Tokyo. We were a group of six — two grandparents and two young kids — and he handled every dynamic with ease. Patient, warm, and endlessly accommodating, he read the energy of the group and adjusted the pace so no one ever felt rushed or left behind. He was especially wonderful with our kids, keeping them engaged and curious all day — from the grandeur of the Imperial Palace, to shopping, to the wonderful craziness of Shinjuku. As a licensed guide his knowledge was deep, but what set him apart was how genuinely kind and thoughtful he was with our whole family. If you want a guide who treats you like family and makes Tokyo come alive for all ages, book Hideaki. Highest possible recommendation — thank you, Hideaki!
