Full-day private walking tour to visit top 4 must-see places in Tokyo


Tokyo is one of the most exciting cities in the world, offering a range of attractions covering both old and modern aspects.

Through this tour, I will take you to the top 4 highlights in Tokyo which you don't want to miss as a first-time visitor:

- Meiji Shrine: the most popular Shinto shrine in Japan surrounded by a thick man-made forest
- Tsukiji Fish Market: a place adored by culinary travelers and the best spot to have sushi
- Imperial Palace: former Edo Castle, where the Imperial family now resides
- Asakusa: an old part of Tokyo famous for Sensoji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo

If you wish to replace any included features with others such as Shibuya, Akihabara, Tokyo Tower, etc. , I can customize the tour in any way for you.

This will be a walking tour with train/bus rides combined. The approximate walking distance will be 10 km. So please wear comfortable shoes.
