Tokyo in One Day: Ueno　(Stay) & Tokyo Station Tour (Stay) — Guide Maru

Title: What's a Full-Day Private Walking Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Ueno and the Imperial Palace

The guests were a group visiting Japan. The start was delayed by about 20 minutes because one of the guests went out to buy breakfast and lost their way. They said they would explore Asakusa on their own and asked me to guide them elsewhere, which was within my expectations, so we began with a tour of Ueno as planned. They took a keen interest in Japanese history and asked questions about all of my explanations, including the statue of Saigo Takamori, Kiyomizu Kannon-do, ukiyo-e, the Great Buddha, Toshogu Shrine, the five-story pagoda, and the temple bell. The cherry blossoms along Sakura Street were also quite in bloom, which was lovely.

After explaining Tokyo Station, we had a tempura lunch at the Marunouchi Building at the guests' request. It was delicious and very enjoyable.

After that, we went from the Wadakura Gate of the Imperial Palace to Nijubashi Bridge, and at the guests' request we walked to the Otemon Gate, viewed the castle ruins, entered Kitanomaru, and continued to Chidorigafuchi. The guests said they were able to walk, so we did, though one of the guests seemed tired toward the end. At the end they asked to take a photo of everyone together (although we had taken photos together in various places), and we enjoyed pleasant conversation throughout. However, I completely forgot to hand over the review.
