Tokyo Customized Private Tour in 1 Day with Licensed Guide

What's a Private Afternoon Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Akihabara, Shibuya, and Shinjuku

Today's guests were a group of four visiting Japan from North America. Because they arrived at Haneda at 4:30 in the morning, the tour started at 1:00 in the afternoon. The weather was clear, which was nice, but the temperature was 35 degrees with very high humidity, so I planned to keep us indoors as much as possible during the day. We first visited the Radio Kaikan in Akihabara, where the guests experienced anime goods. This is usually a place crowded with international travelers, but perhaps because of the extreme heat it was very quiet. Next we headed to Tokyo Tower, where they enjoyed a panoramic view of Tokyo from the observation deck. After that, I took them to the Godzilla Head, a new landmark in Shinjuku. They were very surprised and took many photos. Next I took them to Shibuya's famous crossing and the Hachiko statue. They had watched the crossing on YouTube beforehand, so seeing it in person moved them with its impact. When I explained that it became famous partly because it was used in the Hollywood film "Lost in Translation," they said they would watch the movie again carefully. I told them that the Hachiko statue became famous thanks to "Hachi," starring Richard Gere, and they said they would definitely watch this film too. They lined up in the queue and were delighted to take a group photo together with Hachiko. Finally I took them to Takeshita Street, where they saw an animal cafe and exclaimed how cute it was. To end the tour, we enjoyed a delicious ramen dinner together at Ippudo and concluded the day.
