Meiji Shrine is a serene oasis in the downtown area of Tokyo.

Huge Torii gate of Meiji Shrine

A teahouse in Rikugien Garden. You can feel quiet simplicity.

Beautiful view of Rikugien Garden. Late November to early December is the best season for viewing colored leaves.

Sensou-ji temple in Asakusa. Asakusa is interesting area.

What to Expect

On this tour, you'll visit a Shinto Shrine, Japanese garden and Buddhist temple. You'll enjoy traditional Tokyo.

I’ll meet you at Harajuku station.
We’ll go to Meiji Shrine. Meiji Shrine has bountiful nature and it’s an oasis of serenity. Inside the precincts, you may forget that the place is located in Tokyo.
Then we’ll move to Komagome by JR. We’ll stroll around Rikugien garden. Rikugien garden is one of the most beautiful Japanese gardens in Tokyo.
The garden is beautiful especially in autumn when there are many colored leaves.
After that we’ll go to Sensouji temple in Asakusa. Sensouji temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. I believe you’ll enjoy the hustle and bustle of Asakusa area.
If you'd like to buy some traditional Japanese souvenirs, Nakamise shopping street is one of the best place to go!

“ Half day in Tokyo ”

Half day tour of Tokyo, Nov 10, 2018. Yoko took us to a beautiful park in the heart of the city (Hama-rkyu gardens) then on a tour of the fish market and for a Sushi lunch. We also went up in a tall building for a view of the city. Yoko is a very nice lady and great guide. Price as reasonable for service provided. Highly recommended.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for posting a great review, Jim! It was a really beautiful day and I had a lovely time with you and your wife. I hope you went to the Yokohama cruise port smoothly after we finished the tour. Thank you for having me as your guide. I hope you had a wonderful journey in Japan. Tokyo has a lot of attractive places other than the places we visited. I hope both of you come to Tokyo again in the near future and see you then.

“ Great customized tour ”

We had requested a tour which didn’t hit the big sites but rather focused on some neighbourhoods. Yoko really delivered for us. We had a varied day seeing a variety of areas to give us a better feel for life in Tokyo. We found Yoko to be responsive to our requests both before and during the tour. She was quite informative and we learned a lot about the city and daily life. Her English is fine and she has a great sense of humour. Most importantly, she understood us and our interests. We would definitely want Yoko to guide us again should we return to Tokyo and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends should they need a guide in Tokyo. Thanks Yoko.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a fabulous review, Jonathan! I'm very glad to hear that the tour met your expectations. The tour was a really good opportunity for me, thank you. I had a memorable and enjoyable time with all of you, I'm grateful for your thoughtfulness. Talking with you was fun and interesting, We shared a lot of laughter. It was really nice meeting all of you. I hope you enjoy your journey in Japan and Asia. I hope you come to Tokyo again someday in the near future and see you then. Please take care and have a lovely journey.

“ Comprehensive Tokyo tour ”

We spent a day and a half with Yoko and felt like we got to see all the highlights of the city. She took us to shrines, gardens, fascinating neighborhoods, the fish market and even on a boat tour. We could never have accomplished this on our own. Great tour!

Yoko:

Thank you so much for posting a wonderful review, Lori. I'm glad to hear the tour met your expectation. I had a lovely time with both of you. It was nice meeting you. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. I hope you come to Japan again and hope to see you then. Please take care.
