Tokyo Customized Private Tour in 1 Day — Guide Noripy

What's a 2-Day Private Tokyo Tour Like for First-Time Visitors? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visitors from North America on their first trip to Japan. They stopped in Japan after an 8-day cruise around Cambodia and Vietnam, before their return flight home. They wanted to see the main sights of Tokyo over two days, so they requested the major tourist spots. On the way from their hotel in Roppongi toward the Imperial Palace, while guiding them along Ginza's main avenue and chatting, a request came up for various souvenirs for the family, so we decided to include time for shopping. At Asakusa's Nakamise shopping street, they bought a happi coat set as a gift, a T-shirt, and duty-free akoya pearl earrings at Shibuya Hikarie. In addition, at Starbucks they purchased an original mug sold only in Japan, and they were reassured and satisfied with the souvenirs. Because the place they had visited just before coming to Japan was extremely hot and humid, they were delighted with Tokyo's winter temperatures as a relief from the heat. At the same time, they were surprised at how greatly the culture and social conditions of Japan differed from those of Vietnam and Cambodia, even though all are in Asia, and they enjoyed sightseeing while comparing various points with Tokyo. Since it is difficult to cover the vast expanse of Tokyo, with its many tourist spots, in one or two days, they remarked that they would love to come back to Japan someday for another sightseeing trip. For lunch, based on their request for something Japanese that local people often eat, I guided them to a tempura restaurant in Asakusa, and they were delighted that it was very delicious. One of the guests strongly praised the Japanese pickles served at the table, especially the takuan, saying, "I love this! It's delicious and I really like it." For dinner they had made a reservation, which I confirmed online to be a Japanese restaurant inside a hotel. Because the hotel where they were staying is located within Tokyo Midtown Roppongi, just before we said goodbye at the hotel entrance, I guided them through a shop in the same complex where you can sample Japanese dashi, as well as the supermarket inside the facility, which delighted them greatly, and they said they would definitely buy dashi to take home as a souvenir.
