Title: What Is a Private Family Day Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The tour was booked by a group visiting Tokyo. It was a calm and relaxed tour overall. At the Tsukiji Outer Market, many shops were not yet open, so I was a little concerned about whether the guests felt satisfied, but I believe the rest of the tour was fulfilling, covering Senso-ji Temple, the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, and the Imperial Palace. Along the way, near Shibuya Station, the guests wished to attend to some care needs, but many facilities did not open until 11:00, so one point of reflection was that I could not handle this as smoothly as I would have liked. (In the end, however, this need was met.) At the Imperial Palace, a special opening was being held, making it a tour through which I was able to accumulate valuable experience and knowledge as a guide.
