What Is a Private Tokyo Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa and Meiji Shrine
The guests were a group visiting from South America, on a stay in Tokyo. It was the third day of their trip. They wished to see many places, and we took our time to visit at a relaxed pace. They were interested in shrines and temples, and showed great interest in visiting Senso-ji Temple and Meiji Shrine, as well as the differences in how to worship at each. At Nakamise, they enthusiastically enjoyed shopping for souvenirs even amid the crowds. They took many commemorative photos and seemed very satisfied.

My name is Mari Ise. I started this job as a guide Interpreter in 2020. I don’t have much experience, but I have been enjoying traveling with visitors from abroad very much since then. Besides this job, I am working as a teacher of English at high schools and am teaching Japanese language to people from foreign countries. I am very interested in traditional cultures, history, nature, art and music of both Japan and foreign countries. So, I would like to introduce and share much information with guests who will visit Japan. It would be my great pleasure if you visitors could enjoy and love travel in Japan.
