Tokyo in One Day: Kiyosumi Garden & Meiji Shrine — Guide Shigeru

What's a Full-Day Private Walking Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Kiyosumi Garden, Asakusa, and Meiji Shrine

The guests were visitors from North America. They had arrived in Japan the day before and still seemed to be experiencing jet lag, but they walked actively throughout the tour. At Tsukiji, they showed interest in the interior of Honganji Temple, and at the outer market they enjoyed the variety of shops and the unique atmosphere. At Kiyosumi Garden, they were impressed by the beautifully maintained and tranquil Japanese garden. In particular, while walking across the stepping stones over the pond, they encountered carp and turtles and took many photos, thoroughly enjoying the stroll. After lunch, we took the subway to Kuramae and walked along the promenade beside the Sumida River toward Asakusa. After getting an overview at the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center, they enjoyed selecting souvenirs while walking from Kaminarimon through Nakamise. After visiting the main hall, we took the subway to Meiji Shrine. As we walked from the torii gate along the approach, they were moved by the sacred, deep forest. Adding explanations at various points along the way, we proceeded to the main shrine, and after the visit the tour concluded at Harajuku Station.
