(4hrs. Customized Tour) Let's discover unique Tokyo and exquisite Japanese culture!


This is customized half day tour. I'll take you to the places, such as Asakusa Sensoji Temple; big colorful temple located lively atmosphere of downtown, Observatory; where you see amazing panoramic view of Tokyo, Japanese Garden; as you walk around the pond you encounter beautiful different scenery of nature, Meiji Jingu Shrine; where you feel serenity of Japanese Shintoism(religion). Through this tour you experience uniqueness of Tokyo mixed with traditional Japan and urban elements caused by rapid modernization.
I can tell you all about the interesting history of Tokyo, the traditions in food and art.  
For the people who visited Tokyo more than once, I can coordinate the places, such as Yanaka (temple town with nostalgic atmosphere), Mt. Takao(the mountain close to Tokyo), Kichijoji area(popular town for local people).

This tour is not for large number of people. Also I'm not able to provide mini bus or large van.

A Recent Review of this tour

Hiromi was a wonderful guide for two days. She asked what we were interested in seeing in advance and then adjusted our itinerary due to weather. We navigated through crowded markets and fancy stores, with walking, public transportation and taxis. It was seamless. Saw a lot.
