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!

“ Wonderful Tour of Ashikaga ”

It was such a lovely day, we had a great time with Yoko-san showing us around Ashikaga Gakko, Bannaji Temple and Ashikaga Flower Park. Yoko-san took care of the express train reservations, guiding us from Tokyo Metro to Tobu Line, everything went smoothly. Both my husband and I are so happy we made a new friend with Yoko-san, it was like having a friend showing us her hometown. Even though we were not able to view the wisteria flowers in full bloom at the flower park, we still had a great time visiting the park. Yoko-san's attention to details is very impressive, we highly recommend her as a private guide for your next trip to Tokyo.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Elaine-san! Though we missed the opportunity to see the beautiful wisteria at Ashikaga Flower Park, we had a great time there viewing a variety of roses and other beautiful flowers. Actually that was my first time to see the roses in the park and was a lovely opportunity for me. Thank you. Both of you are very nice so that I felt as if I had been an old friend of you. Talking about many things with you are really interesting and fun to me. I'm grateful for your thoughtfulness. I hope you come to Japan again in the near future and hope to see you then. Thank you again and please take care.

“ Memories to last a lifetime! ”

Yoko exceeded expectations during our private tour to Ashikaga Flower Park! She was well organized, excellent communication before/during/after the tour, thoughtful, and knowledgeable of the area. Our 8-month-old even got attached to her sunny disposition! We are very happy to have enjoyed our time viewing wisteria with Yoko! It was a beautiful experience and recommend to everyone.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for your fabulous review, Erin! I had a lovely time with you and all of your family. Your daughter is very adorable, playing with her was really fun to me. Unfortunately the wisteria season was almost over, but I'm glad that you enjoyed the park with a lot of other flowers. I'm grateful for all of your thoughtfulness. I hope you come to Japan again in the near future and hope to see you then. I'd like to see your daughter after she grows up! Thank you again and please take care.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Annabel. The day with you and all of you was enjoyable and memorable for me. Unfortunately the wisteria in Ashikaga Flower Park was not at its best season and that might not meet your expectations, but I had a fun and lovely time with all of you. I'm grateful for all of your kindness. I hope you come to Japan again in the near future and hope to see you again. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. Please take care.

“ Day trip from Tokyo to Kamakura ”

Yoko was a lovely guide for my family of 5 including my two children ages 7 and 8 and my father. She was incredibly sweet and patient with us as we managed the trains, buses and crowds. We travelled when the Cherry Blossoms were blooming so it was more crowded then usual. The Great Buddha at Kamakura is quite a site. We enjoyed the shrines, some sesame ice cream and other Japanese treats. Yoko helped us every step of the way with shopping, payment, teaching us things. It was a very nice day. Then she helped us navigate out evening plans and answered questions for our subsequent adventures. Having Yoko as a guide made visiting Kamakura from Tokyo much easier. There are buses, trains and walking to navigate and it would have been much more difficult to figure out without a guide. Yoko made it easy so we only had to worry about enjoying the trip.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for your warm review, Vicki. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring Kamakura on the day. The day was a lovely day with beautiful cherry blossoms, so almost all the places in Kamakura were very crowded. Actually I was wondering if you could not enjoy the day. But thank you so much for your patience. I'm grateful for all of your understanding. Your son and daughter are really adorable, so I had a fun time with them. Also your father is a really interesting person to talk to, which impressed me a lot. That was such a lovely experience for me. Thank you so much for having me as your guide. I hope you ever come to Tokyo some day in the near future and hope to see you then. Thank you again and please take care.

“ Excellent guide on short notice ”

I booked Yoko on a short 1 day notice and she was very prompt to reply. After explaining everything we wanted to do, she gave me some suggestions on where to go. After we started the trip with Yoko we changed what we wanted to do. Yoko promptly changed our route and got us to where we wanted. She was very good at helping out and very pleasant to speak with.

Yoko:

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Sam! It's nice meeting both of you, I had a lovely time with you. The place we went was not the area I'm used to, but I enjoyed waking around the area with you. Thank you for giving me such a lovely opportunity. And talking with you about the city where you live is really interesting and fun to me. I hope you come to Tokyo in the near future and hope to see you then. Thank you again and please take care.
