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.

Don’t visit Tokyo without a guide! You’ll need help to find the good restaurants and interesting spots.
We had a tour with Ms. Fumiko. She was a both knowledgeable and nice guide. She even contacted us days beforehand to design the tour to meet our specific needs and wishes. Much appreciated!

Fumiko is a great tour guide – informative, friendly and very well prepared.
Fumiko was a great tour guide given she was very knowledgeable about the key tourist sites that we visited and history of Japan. Fumiko was a great communicator who reached out very early to design our six-hour tour of Tokyo. Unfortunately we spent a lot of time on the underground to get to the sites that we wanted to visit. My advice is to test with Fumiko early the likely time that you will spend on transport over the course of the day so you do not spend unnecessary time on public transport. Probably do ot need a tour guide to go to the markets. Highly recommend Fumiko.
