What Is a Private Walking Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The weather forecast called for rain, so I was worried, but we barely got rained on and were able to carry out the tour, which was wonderful. The guests said they enjoy walking, and we walked quite a lot, but there were no problems. The group seemed to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the Nijubashi Bridge of the Imperial Palace, the Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, and Nezu Shrine. One of the guests loved taking photos and was constantly snapping pictures. For lunch we went to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I was a little concerned, but the guest happily ate the shrimp tempura sushi, saying it was delicious. Finally, we went around Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise, Hozomon Gate, and the main hall, then traveled together from Asakusa to Kanda, where the guests made their own way back to the hotel from there. It was the group's first visit to Japan, and they seemed to enjoy everything. They said that everywhere in Japan is beautiful.
