Let's enjoy popular places and learn Tokyo's metro system
Tokyo is the capital of Japan, which used to be the seat of the Military Government from the 17th through the end of the 19th century. You can explore both historical and modern places here in Tokyo at the same time.
If you are a first-time traveler to Japan, I'd like this tour to be an introduction to Japan. You visit 3 significant places; Meiji Imperial Shrine, Asakusa, and a traditional Japanese garden. While exploring these places, you walk around modern areas on the way such as Omotesando or Ginza. After this tour, you automatically become comfortable with Tokyo's transportation system and get around Tokyo on your own.
If you are a second-time visitor, or if you take a 2-day Tokyo trip, I will introduce some interesting places to you according to your preference. You can see a list of recommendable sightseeing spots in the itinerary box below.
Visiting the places you're interested in always makes wonderful memories that would keep in your mind for many years. So, let me know whatever you want!

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourEriko was a fantastic guide for our first day in Japan (Tokyo). Not only did we see the key sights during the tour, but it helped us get orientated with the trains/subway and taxi's - including the SUICA pass setup. As we were at the start of a 3 week tour of Japan, Eriko gave us help and advice and suggestions on future itinerary and this was over and above our expectations. We loved our tour and would cant recommend Eriko highly enough.
