Tsukiji Local Food & Culture Half-Day Tour — Guide Kanako

What Is a Private Tokyo Food Tour of Tsukiji and Asakusa Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

I met the guests on time at the Hotel and we headed to Tsukiji. The crowded morning train seemed to be a new experience for them, and they were surprised, but they were impressed that everyone in Japan rides so quietly. The guests were from North America and had mentioned that they even cook Japanese food at home.

They had many requests, and in Asakusa they enjoyed a variety of Japanese foods such as beef bowl, matcha latte, otoro sushi, and wagyu skewers. They especially seemed to love the wagyu skewers. They also purchased souvenirs such as an eco bag. After that we moved to Asakusa, where I explained about ningyo-yaki and ukiyo-e along Nakamise Street, and they further enjoyed items like dango and zha ji pai.

Finally we visited Sensoji Temple and parted ways. They seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the Japanese cuisine. After the tour, I sent the photo we took together and asked for a review, and they said, "Thank you for the wonderful tour! I'll write the best review." They also gave the OK to post the photo. They seemed to have had a great time.

Tour Report by Kanako

Hi everyone! My name is Kanako. It might be difficult for you to remember my name, so just think my name is “Can of Coke”.
I enjoy traveling, exploring cafés, and visiting museums. Since I live close to Tokyo, I often visit there in my free time.
Do you like Japanese culture? Lately, people from many countries have shown interest in it, and I truly feel happy about that. Especially after the pandemic, even more visitors have been coming to Japan.
Japan is a country with traditions that span thousands of years, while also embracing some of the most advanced technologies in the world. For example, you might come across a café with a sleek, modern interior hidden inside a building that looks like a traditional Japanese house from the outside. That’s quite common here. It reflects Japan’s spirit of “learning new things by studying the old.”
Personally, I often discover something new just by walking through the streets. From famous tourist spots to hidden gems off the beaten path, let’s explore the essence of Japan together!
