What Does a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Include? A Licensed Guide's Report on Meiji Shrine, Shibuya, Tsukiji, and Asakusa
I had the pleasure of guiding the group, who had arrived in Japan the previous evening, on their first sightseeing tour of Tokyo. We started with a walk through Meiji Shrine and Omotesando, and the guests were amazed at the difference from their home region when they saw how there was no litter in the streets. Next, after seeing the Shibuya Scramble Crossing and Miyashita Park, we strolled through the Tsukiji Outer Market via Ginza. They sampled cut pieces of tuna and were delighted by its freshness. Finally, we headed to Asakusa, where the guests shopped for souvenirs along Nakamise Street and enjoyed the streetscape full of old Edo atmosphere.

Hi friends, I’m Seky, a tour guide in Tokyo, but I cover all over Japan, namely from Hokkaido to Kyushu. I have lived overseas for more than 15 years in total, such as US, UK, Singapore and others, and enjoyed local culture there. Back in Japan, I wish I could help travelers to Japan enjoy Japanese culture, and this is why I became a tour guide.
In Tokyo, my favorite places are Shibuya, Harajuku, Asakusa, and if you are interested in fish market, I’d love to take you to the world largest Tuna auction and/or if you are sports lovers, I’ll go to ball games (baseball) too.

Great tour, customized to my interests, Edo period cultural sites. Mr. Seky was an excellent guide who reached out to me before the tour and proposed an itinerary based on my interests. Tokyo is a large city, and having a tour guide who efficiently navigated the geography was invaluable. Also Mr. Seky was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared his insights and suggestions. I highly recommend this tour. Thank Mr. Seky.
