Title: What Can You See on a First-Time Private Tour of Tokyo? A Licensed Guide's Report on Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, and Harajuku
The guests were a group visiting Tokyo for the first time from North America. Since they wanted to experience Japanese history and culture, [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) guide showed them the highlights of the city. First, they wanted to buy IC cards, and since it was still a hot day, they wanted handheld fans, so we headed to Shibuya first. After seeing the Hachiko statue and the Scramble Crossing, they did some shopping. At Meiji Shrine, they were able to see a wedding ceremony and a Shichi-Go-San celebration, and everyone seemed very pleased. They shopped along Takeshita Street in Harajuku and had lunch at Ippudo in Harakado, enjoying the day to the fullest.

Hi ! I’m Kozee.
I obtained license of guide interpreter in 2018 and started guiding in 2019 Jan.
The reason why I got this license is that I have strong passion to introduce Japan to foreign people.
Japan has a lot of attractions to be proud of in the world, fascinating historical places, culture, food, and beautiful nature like Mt.Fuji, and expertise that has been preserved through long history.
As a guide, I always keep it on my mind how to satisfy my guest and make their trip unforgettable.
I’m sure that I will be able to help you by making use of my extensive guiding experience.
Why don’t you enjoy your trip in Japan with me.

Kozee was a wonderful guide. He was genuinely interested in sharing his country with us and answered all questions with knowledge. He was very flexible and tailored our day to fit our interests and needs. He had some great suggestions.
Kozee was extremely knowledgeable about not only the history of Japan but the current economic and geopolitical conditions as well. We learned so much about the country. We would highly recommend using this wonderful man as your guide.
