Tour Itinerary

  • After meeting in front of the customer's hotel, we headed to Tsukiji. At Tsukiji, they had a great time putting their names on chopsticks, tasting Japanese tea, and eating Kobe beef skewers. After going around the market and stopping by Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, we took the subway to the Kabuki-za Theater. They purchased souvenirs in the basement of the Kabuki-za and took photos of the building. They also seemed interested in Kabuki itself. We then walked through Ginza, and while enjoying shopping by stopping at shops that caught their attention (they seemed to really like Itoya), we arrived at Tokyo Station. While looking at the station building, they asked various questions about Japanese culture and the structure of society. They also paid attention to the students on their school trip. After that, we went to Shibuya Station and viewed the Scramble Crossing from Shibuya Mark City. They were impressed by how many people crossed the intersection at the same time. The tour ended there. Since we happened to be taking the same train home, we rode together partway and said goodbye at the station.

What Is a Private Guided Tour in Japan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were very interested in Japanese daily life and how Japanese society works, which motivated me to keep updating my own knowledge. They showed great interest not only in history but also in how people live in Japan today. When I asked how the day had been during our final review of the tour, they said they had enjoyed it very much. They said that Japan was completely different from all the other countries they had traveled to, and that everyone was polite and wonderful. I was very happy that they came away with such a good impression.

Tour Report by Kanako

Hi everyone! My name is Kanako. It might be difficult for you to remember my name, so just think my name is “Can of Coke”.
I enjoy traveling, exploring cafés, and visiting museums. Since I live close to Tokyo, I often visit there in my free time.
Do you like Japanese culture? Lately, people from many countries have shown interest in it, and I truly feel happy about that. Especially after the pandemic, even more visitors have been coming to Japan.
Japan is a country with traditions that span thousands of years, while also embracing some of the most advanced technologies in the world. For example, you might come across a café with a sleek, modern interior hidden inside a building that looks like a traditional Japanese house from the outside. That’s quite common here. It reflects Japan’s spirit of “learning new things by studying the old.”
Personally, I often discover something new just by walking through the streets. From famous tourist spots to hidden gems off the beaten path, let’s explore the essence of Japan together!
