Title: What's a Private Tokyo Tour for Pokémon and Vintage Shopping Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting from North America. Their goal was to visit a Pokémon Center, as one of the guests was very interested in Pokémon, and to explore vintage clothing shops in Harajuku, as some of the guests were very interested in secondhand fashion. At the Pokémon Center, they were very pleased with the wide variety of items and purchased many plush toys. I introduced them to six vintage clothing shops in Harajuku, and they were satisfied with the great selection and bought several items. Unfortunately, it was the first day of the Golden Week holiday, so the crowds were extraordinary, and every restaurant had a wait of over an hour. We therefore visited a slightly upscale sushi restaurant, where they enjoyed the sushi and were very satisfied with how delicious it was. After visiting Nezu Shrine, we parted ways.

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Yuji was an amazing guide. He was able to add so much information about all the sites we chose to see. He was very kind and when we were tired he suggested a stop for coffee. It revived us and we kept going.
I would highly recommend Yuji to any one visiting Tokyo.

We had a great experience with our 6 hour walking tour. Yuji was our guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful through the whole experience. He took us to places that were family friendly and recommended good places to eat and enjoy. We recommend him for your next trip to Tokyo!!!
