What's a Private Day Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Meiji Shrine, Shibuya, and Tsukiji
The guests were longtime friends who now live in different places and had arrived in Japan the previous day. We first visited Meiji Shrine, where they remarked that the natural surroundings were truly wonderful. We then headed to Shibuya and experienced the famous Shibuya Crossing. Next, we went to Zojoji Temple, where we took photos with the main hall and Tokyo Tower in the background. After that, we visited the Tsukiji Outer Market, where the guests enjoyed seeing a wide variety of ingredients. For lunch at the food court, they savored tempura and soba, and some also enjoyed king crab. Finally, we went to Ginza, visiting the gourmet basement floor of a department store and a car showroom before returning to the hotel. Although it was raining, the driver handled everything very smoothly, so I was glad we were able to finish the tour without any trouble. A notable stop on the tour was Meiji Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Completed in 1920, it is set within a vast forest of over 100,000 trees donated from across Japan, creating a peaceful green sanctuary in the heart of the city. The shrine is one of the most visited in Japan, especially during the New Year period, and offers visitors a tranquil contrast to the busy urban districts nearby.

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!
