Title: What Is a Private Family-Friendly Day Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from Oceania. The weather was nice, but the temperature and humidity were very high, so I did my best to keep the experience enjoyable for everyone in the group. We first visited Meiji Shrine, where the abundant shade made it comfortable to walk around. I took commemorative photos of the group in front of the decorative sake barrels and the large torii gate. Next, we moved to the Pokémon Center, where the mood of the group gradually brightened. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy the largest Pokémon Center in Japan. For lunch, we went to a sushi restaurant in Nihonbashi, where the group admired the beautifully arranged sushi and were very satisfied with the taste. We had originally planned to visit the Imperial Palace next, but considering the lack of shade, I changed the plan to Asakusa instead. After that, we moved to Shibuya, where the group experienced Super Mario and Pokémon at an entertainment space in Shibuya, and then we parted ways.

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.
