Tokyo Customized Private Tour in 1 Day — Guide Noripy

Title: What's a Full-Day Private Walking Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visiting Japan for the first time from North America. They carried themselves with wonderful posture, walked briskly, and had a curious and humorous spirit, giving a very youthful impression. After Tokyo, they planned to visit Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, and Kanazawa. At Zojoji Temple, the weeping cherry blossoms had begun to bloom, and the guests were delighted by their beauty and took many photos. Next was Tokyo Tower. Although one of the guests was not particularly fond of heights, they wished to go up to the observation deck. Unfortunately, Mount Fuji was not visible, but they were satisfied looking out toward the Odaiba area and Zojoji Temple, which they had just visited. After that, before taking the Hibiya Line subway from Kamiyacho, I introduced them to Azabudai Hills. They seemed interested in teamLab and the restaurants there, and they took home a facility map for a future return visit. For lunch, the guests had been looking forward to eating sushi so much that they described Tsukiji Market as an absolute must-visit. I guided them to a sushi restaurant, where in the end they had a modest amount, enjoying three kinds of thin-rolled sushi (negitoro, salmon, and tuna). They found it very delicious. After the meal, one of the guests wanted ice cream, so at a popular ice cream shop on the corner where we began walking toward Ginza, one tried matcha soft serve and the other tried tiramisu soft serve. Of course, they loved them. At Meiji Shrine, they were able to see a group photo being taken of both families attending a wedding ceremony, and one of the guests was thrilled. The final stop, Shibuya, was not originally part of the planned itinerary, but the guests were so keen on sightseeing that, rather than ending the tour by returning to their hotel, they wished to continue exploring. I guided them to the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where we parted ways. At that point, since they said they do not usually walk very much and were curious about how far they had walked on today's tour, I told them that my pedometer showed about 22,000 steps, and they were very surprised.
