Title: What's a Private Day Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Meiji Shrine, Shibuya, and Asakusa

The guest was a solo traveler from the Middle East. The guest loved photography, and although I am not very skilled at taking photos, the guest kindly taught me how, and I was able to take some nice photos of the guest. After visiting Meiji Shrine, we went to Shibuya, experienced the Shibuya Crossing, and enjoyed halal wagyu ramen. There were three branches of the ramen shop in Shibuya, and we first went to the wrong one, but afterward we found the correct restaurant and were able to enjoy the halal wagyu ramen. After taking in the view from Shibuya Sky, we headed to Asakusa, where we took photos, drew omikuji fortunes, made a visit, and drank matcha. Since the guest wished to purchase souvenirs along Nakamise, we parted ways in Asakusa. The guest planned to visit Mount Fuji the next day, then go skiing in Niseko, and watch sumo afterward. The weather was lovely and the guest was very friendly, so I enjoyed the day as well.
