Introduction tour to Tokyo by visiting 2 significant places


Tokyo is an internationalized city and served as the seat of the Military Government from the 17th through the end of the 19th century. Therefore, it has a lot of modern and historical places.

To first-time visitors to Japan, I'd like this tour to be an introduction to Tokyo. You visit two significant places: Meiji Shrine and Asakusa. As you enjoy both places, you walk around Omotesando and Shibuya Crossing as well. With this, you can automatically learn how to navigate Tokyo's train system and get around the city on your own. When you want to visit other places, please let me know. I'm flexible about your itinerary.

1: Meiji Shrine
Meiji Shrine is Japan's most popular shrine in a forest and is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, who dramatically modernized Japan after the end of the Samurai period.

2: Asakusa
Asakusa is Tokyo's most popular place flourishing around Sensoji Temple. The Nakamise Shopping Street is a fun place for seeing traditional Japanese things.

A Recent Review of this tour

Eriko was a delight. She happily assisted us to get some train tickets for our onward travel from Tokyo and then carefully explained the train/metro system as we travelled around looking at some beautiful temples, shrines and parks. She was knowledgeable and very friendly and we would highly recommend her.
