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

The night before, the guests arrived at Narita Airport and found that their luggage had not been delivered, so the tour began with shopping for clothing. After purchasing clothes at a Uniqlo and changing, the sightseeing got underway. We were able to visit the places the guests had requested, but the schedule ran behind, so unfortunately they were not able to experience the lively atmosphere of the Tsukiji Outer Market. Despite these constraints, the guests seemed to thoroughly enjoy the sightseeing, and in particular they appeared to greatly enjoy Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, which they had especially requested. They seemed to have a wonderful day, and when it was time to part, everyone smiled and we said goodbye with a handshake. The guests had prepared very carefully for their trip, and as they were on a long journey, I bid them farewell hoping that their luggage would be waiting for them at the hotel front desk.

Tour Report by kiyo

I’m happy to show you around Japan. I used to be a traveler myself. And now I’ve got a lot of wonderful memories when I took trips abroad where people were very nice and kind to me. I’m hoping you would have more of such experience while you’re staying here. And I’d be so honored to be a part of your pleasant memories here in this country.
Tokyo is the city I’m from. You can imagine Tokyo bristling with skyscrapers fully equipped with cutting edge conveniences. The capital’s charm is not only this kind of futuristic aspect. You might find the city mixed with old and new when you walk around this busy town.
The other day, my guests and I were abruptly entertained with beautiful music played a traditional musical instrument called shamisen at one of Tokyo’s biggest train terminal stations. Our initial idea of finding a place to take a bite had taken away. We just stood there with lots of crowd, listening to the pleasing sound coming from the three-string instruments. After giving a big clap to the musicians for their glamorous performance, we left for a sushi shop where we enjoyed talking about the guitar lesson one of my young guests was taking. I’m looking forward to sharing such pleasant encounter with you here.
One fun part of travel is trying some local food, isn’t it? Mouth-watering dishes are the must-try items not only for travelers but people living in this country. My guests with dietary restrictions have ventured fancy traditional confectionery I’ve been fond of. I usually waste no time trying when it comes to savory foods. When I asked if they liked the sweets at a precinct of the temple, they nodded at me with a big smile. Looking at such happy faces always makes me so glad. I’m waiting to see your happy smile.
The more information on your preference on food and sites you let me know, the more thoroughly we can arrange our itinerary. I’m sure you have a lot on your plate, with preparing for your trip here. Still, I’d be happy if you spare your time to email me.
Your guide, Kiyo
