Discover the authentic sights of Tokyo with private guide


A half day (4 hour) tour in which you will discover the highlights of this incredible historic yet ultra modern city. On the tour I will show you the historic Asakusa district, famous for its temples. Here you can experience a taste of authentic historic Japan while exploring this historic district. I can arrange a memorable rickshaw ride around Asakusa (extra charge) which presents a great opportunity or excellent photographs in front on the many landmarks.

Following this we will visit the Shibuya and Harajuku district. These districts will allow you to see the contrasting side of this bustling metropolis. This trendy neighbourhood is famous for the Shibuya crossing, its many cafes and restaurants and its multitude of boutique shops.

This half day tour will allow you to get a real feel for Tokyo, one of the most unique cities on the planet, and create lasting memories of your time in the largest city on Earth.

I can customise the tour to suit you if there is anything else you wish to include.

A Recent Review of this tour

Our tour with Eunji was a wonderful and fun experience. We learned so much about the history, culture, customs and foods of Tokyo. Eunji is amazing - she is personable, fun and has great knowledge of the Tokyo area. She made us feel comfortable and modified the tour per our requests. Our tour with Eunji was a wonderful beginning for our trip to Japan.
