Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour — Guide Mika

Title: What's a Private One-Day Tour of Tokyo and Yokohama Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

1. 8:00 Meeting at Yokohama Port (Osanbashi Pier) → Since we were able to meet at 7:40, we started the tour a little earlier. 2. 9:10 At Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple and Tsukiji Market → We toured the interior of Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple and enjoyed street food at Tsukiji Market. While taking in the lively atmosphere, the guests enjoyed tuna, sushi, yakitori, and dango, saying "So delicious!" 3. 10:30 At Shibuya Crossing → We crossed the Shibuya intersection and took photos from Starbucks. 4. 11:00 Cat Street area and Omotesando stroll → We strolled from Cat Street to Omotesando while I listened to stories about travels to various places around the world. 5. 11:30 Lunch at a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant → Since they were not very hungry after the street food in Tsukiji but wanted a little more sushi, we had lunch at a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant. They were delighted that it was reasonable and delicious! 6. 12:15 At a micro pig café in Harajuku → I took them to a micro pig café that they had reserved in advance themselves. They took many photos and happily told me what a precious experience it was. 7. 13:00 At Shinjuku Station East Exit, "The Shinjuku East Exit Cat" → Since they wanted to see the billboard with the cat that appears to jump out, we passed through the Shinjuku Station East Exit and filmed it before heading to Shinjuku Gyoen. They seemed satisfied to have captured a good video. 8. 13:30 At Shinjuku Gyoen → The double cherry blossoms and azaleas were in full bloom, the breeze was pleasant, and we strolled while taking many photos. 9. 15:40 At a tattoo history museum → This was a place they had long wanted to visit; they had come to Japan several times before but had never been able to find it. So we made an appointment by phone and visited. Having run a tattoo shop themselves, they were very happy to be able to see the museum and told me that a long-cherished dream had come true. 10. 16:10 Ending the tour at Yokohama Station → They were delighted, saying it had been a very enjoyable tour in which they were able to visit all the places they had wanted to see.
