Title: What Is a Private Family Day Tour of Asakusa in Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting Japan from Asia. The whole group enjoyed Senso-ji Temple together and did some shopping, buying souvenirs and a matcha latte. For lunch, we went to a ramen restaurant along Kaminarimon-dori. During the day we traveled by taxi, which the guests arranged through their own app. The guests wanted the younger members of the group to experience Japanese culture, and it was memorable to see them checking in a quiz format whether the guide's explanations along the way had been remembered. The guests were staying at a Hotel, and they were planning to visit Tokyo Disneyland the following day. As some of the guests were tired, we wrapped up a little earlier than planned.

Hi I am Yosh, very nice to meet you!
I am a tour guide around Tokyo and surrounding areas including Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone and Mt. Fuji area with qualification of nationwide professional tour guiding.
I have been practicing Japanese martial arts, Karate and Aikido, from my childhood and I teach kids and beginners at Dojo school as an instructor.
From my background I am especially into a tour guiding about Samurai, Sumo and Zen style temples deeply related with Japanese martial arts.
I was born, raised and live in Tokyo and Kanagawa prefecture for over 50 years, so I am familiar with Tokyo capital area and I can arrange the free choice tour for you based on your taste and interest.

Our day in Tokyo with Yosh was like being shown around town by an old friend. Yosh was great company and fun to be with. He planned our route well, was informative, offered thoughtful suggestions that were always spot on, found a great lunch place and went out of his way to get us on the right train at the end of the tour. We couldn’t recommend him more highly. The Meiji Shrine was a highlight.
