**Title:** What's a Private Tokyo Tour with Two Licensed Guides Like? A Guide's Report on Harajuku, Asakusa, and a Samurai Ninja Experience

**Body:**

The guests were a group visiting from Oceania. Because the guests had booked the tour as two separate groups, we arranged an unusual format in which two [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) guides led the group together. On Takeshita Street, some of the guests were especially interested in the souvenir and accessory shops as well as the animal cafes. At Senso-ji Temple, they listened with great interest to the explanations about the souvenir shops along Nakamise Street and the history of the temple. Since a samurai and ninja experience was included in the tour from 13:30, we guided the guests to the Samurai Ninja Museum, confirmed their reservation at the reception, took a final photo, and then parted ways. We responded fully to the guests' requests, so I believe they were satisfied.

Tour Report by Seizo

I am Seizo Kamiuto, National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (English). I was born in Kagoshima City in Kyushu (Southern part of Japan) and grew up there until the graduation from a high school. I came to Tokyo to enter a University in Tokyo and since then, I have lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years and therefore I know Tokyo and its suburbs and Kagoshima City very well. After retiring from an IT company, I have been working as a Guide Interpreter of English since March 2018. I have guided many overseas guests to the popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji area (Kawaguchiko Lake etc.), Hakone, Nikko, Yokohama, Kawagoe and Kagoshima and so on. I have received good reviews from many guests. I can explain the history and the culture of Japan in detail. I look forward to an opportunity to guide you in Japan. Thank you. Seizo Kamiuto
