Tokyo in One Day: Semsoji & Surroundings — Guide Reiko

Title: What Is a Private Tokyo Tour Like for Cruise Passengers? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visitors from Oceania, traveling as part of a cruise. We moved at the same relaxed pace, which made it easy for me as a guide since we did not need to rush. At one point I wondered where they had gone, only to find them sitting on a bench eating a banana, which I believe was their own way of managing their energy. Originally I had planned to visit Meiji Shrine after Shibuya Crossing, but since they wanted to head back, we went straight to Tokyo Station. Even so, at the East Gardens they kept saying "Beautiful," and at Senso-ji Temple they enjoyed buying souvenirs and amulets, drawing omikuji fortunes, and reading them aloud in English with great delight. The guests kindly told me I was a "Wonderful Guide."
