What's a Private Full-Day Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Asakusa, and the Imperial Palace

On this day, I guided the guests from North America on a sightseeing tour of Tokyo. The weather was fine, and at the Tsukiji Outer Market, where about 400 shops line the streets, they explored seafood, fruits, vegetables, and cooking utensils, and also enjoyed a tasting of sashimi. At Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, they enjoyed learning about the historical background and shopping along Nakamise Street. Around the Imperial Palace (Sakuradamon Gate and Nijubashi Bridge), they took in the vast scenery and the atmosphere surrounding Nijubashi Bridge. They were also very satisfied with the Japanese cuisine for lunch. In addition, we exchanged opinions about common Japanese customs and general knowledge, and I feel they had an enjoyable time. The guests showed great curiosity about various Japanese customs and history, actively asking many questions, which made it a very fulfilling tour.
