Title: What Can You See on a Full-Day Private Tour of Tokyo? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting from North America. They had arrived the day before and had already been to Shinjuku and teamLab Borderless right away. The guests were strong walkers and, apart from lunch, walked the whole day without a break. At Tsukiji, they enjoyed wagyu beef and tuna, and also enjoyed some shopping. Since I had heard that one of the guests had a background in design, I took the group to a cloisonné shop in Ginza, where they looked at the pieces with great interest and purchased a pendant. After that, we moved smoothly through Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, and Harajuku, and I saw the guests off at Gaienmae Station, where we parted ways.
