What Does a Private Tokyo Walking Tour Cover? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Shibuya, and the Sumida River

The guests were visitors from Asia. As the time difference was small and the flight had been comfortable, they were in good spirits and walked well throughout the tour. On the trains they were able to sit down, and we were able to chat about many things while traveling. They enjoyed shopping, and apart from the crowds at Asakusa and Nakamise Street, there were no major crowds, so they had a good time and we took many photos. For lunch, we were able to relax at a sushi restaurant in the Shibuya Center Gai area. After I guided them to view Tokyo Skytree from the Sumida River, they mentioned they wanted to relax in Yokohama, so I saw them off to the Hotel. They were wonderful guests. Thank you very much.
