Our guide Asai san was incredible. We were travelling with our kids (4 and 6 years old) Hot summer heat but managed to see everything we wanted and at their pace. We were nervous about learning how the trains work but Asai made it so easy!

Full description

Explore the best of Tokyo on this 1-day, fully customizable, and private tour. Select which must-see locations you’d like to visit from the list below and your knowledgeable, licensed guide will customize an itinerary for you based on your preferences.

The most popular, must-see attractions available on this tour: Asakusa, Imperial Palace, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Tsukiji Fish Market, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Akihabara, Hama Rikyu Gardens, Harajuku, Takeshita Street, Nezu, and Shinjuku Golden Gai.

On the day of the tour, your guide will meet you at your hotel to begin your full-day tour. Using either public transport or walking to get around, why not start your day with a visit to Asakusa to see the famous Senso-Ji Temple.

Your next stop could be to take a walk through the Outer Garden (Gaien) of the Imperial Palace, followed by lunch in trendy, ‘Kawaii’ Harajuku. Then, maybe, spend your afternoon at the Meiji Jingu Shrine forest, between the busy neighborhoods of Shibuya and Shinjuku.

Our guide Rumi was excellent. She was kind, friendly and curtious. She provided us with a wealth of local knowledge and her English was very good. She even brought us to a restaurant which provided gluten free meals for lunch. Thank you Rumi for s lovely day.
