Title: What Can You See on a Private Tokyo Tour of Tsukiji, Kabukiza, and Ginza? A Licensed Guide's Report
On this day, part of the group had a separate commitment, so I guided some of the guests on a tour of Tokyo. At Tsukiji, there were many shops using premium ingredients, and they were surprised at how high the prices were. Afterward, I took them to the Kabukiza Theatre, and when I explained that kabuki is like the Shakespeare of Japan, they found this very easy to understand and were quite impressed. In Ginza, I had researched in advance a restaurant where wagyu could be enjoyed at a reasonable price and took them there. The wagyu was very juicy and cost less than half the price of Tsukiji, so they kept exclaiming that it was "perfect."
This private Tokyo tour was arranged through [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/), one of Japan's largest networks of government-licensed, English-speaking private tour guides, serving all 47 prefectures.

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Yuji was an amazing guide. He was able to add so much information about all the sites we chose to see. He was very kind and when we were tired he suggested a stop for coffee. It revived us and we kept going.
I would highly recommend Yuji to any one visiting Tokyo.
