Title: What Can You See on a Private Day Tour of Tokyo? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Nippori, and Kabuki
Today's guests were visitors from North America. They had been traveling by ship around several Asian countries, with Japan as their final destination before returning home over the weekend. We first visited Asakusa, where the guests were surprised by the large number of international travelers. One of the guests mentioned that a family member had visited Asakusa the previous year and been delighted by a strawberry stick, so the guest was eager to try it. We found the shop and they tried one right away, marveling at how fresh it was. Next, we moved to Nippori and enjoyed a sushi lunch. The guests were especially pleased with the fresh tuna belly and delighted that it cost about one third of the price back home. Finally, wishing to introduce them to kabuki, I guided them to a kabuki gallery. Although the guests had known nothing about kabuki, they were impressed by its depth, which they compared to Shakespeare.

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.
