What Does a Private Full-Day Tokyo Tour Cover? A Licensed Guide's Report on Asakusa, Tsukiji, and Tokyo Tower
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. They had visited Japan several times before for travel. We first visited Senso-ji Temple. Perhaps because of the heat, many shops had their shutters down and there were only about half as many people as usual. Despite the heat, everyone enjoyed themselves. Next, we moved to Tsukiji and strolled through the outer market. They laughed, noting that every shop seemed to charge high prices aimed at foreign visitors. The sushi restaurant I usually take guests to was closed, so I took them to a conveyor-belt sushi place instead, which they were delighted with. Finally, I took them to Tokyo Tower, where they enjoyed the panoramic view of Tokyo, and I believe they were very satisfied.

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!!!
