Tokyo in One Day: Sensoji & Shibuya Scramble Crossing — Guide Chiho

What Is a Rainy-Day Private Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya

This tour took place during a typhoon. In the morning, especially while sightseeing at Sensoji Temple, the guiding was done in heavy rain. Even so, the guests seemed to enjoy themselves, drawing omikuji fortunes along the way. After that, we moved to Harajuku and visited Meiji Shrine. At Meiji Shrine, the guests wrote wishes on ema plaques and used the goshuincho (temple stamp book) purchased in Asakusa for the first time. Afterwards, we had lunch in Harajuku. After lunch, we strolled along Takeshita Street, and some of the guests enjoyed chocolate bananas and churros. We then walked toward Shibuya Station while shopping along the way, but it seemed that the rain had soaked their trousers, so we stopped at various shops to look for a new pair. They could not find one they were satisfied with and did not end up making a purchase, but before we parted I told them where the UNIQLO in Shibuya was, and they said they would go there after we said goodbye. Toward the end, the guests began to show signs of fatigue, and I felt that tours on rainy days in particular are quite challenging.

Hello! My name is Chiho Tsukamoto, and I’m a licensed tour guide based in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture.

I have been working as a flight attendant, providing thoughtful and detailed service to passengers from around the world. Currently, I serve as a cabin manager on international flights.

During my student days, I studied abroad in Manchester, UK for nine months. When my friends from that time visited Japan, I had the opportunity to guide them around the country, which sparked my interest in becoming a tour guide.

I have strong communication skills, a deep understanding of different cultures, and a sincere spirit of hospitality developed through my career in aviation.

I’m passionate not only about Japanese traditional culture, but also about the country’s modern lifestyle and latest trends. I aim to help visitors experience the real Japan through fun, engaging, and easy-to-understand tours.

I look forward to helping you create wonderful and memorable moments during your time in Japan.
