What Is a Private Tokyo Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Asakusa, and Kappabashi
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from Oceania. They travel abroad frequently, and after Tokyo they planned to continue to Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. We first visited Tsukiji. Since their main goal was to eat sushi at Tsukiji, after strolling around I took them to a sushi restaurant, where they thoroughly enjoyed delicious sushi. Next we visited Asakusa, where one of the guests was very keen on photography and took pictures from many different angles. Finally, I took them to Kappabashi and introduced a shop selling Japanese tableware, which they liked so much that they purchased five or six items.

Amazing tour of Tokyo with Yuji
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!!!
