Enjoy an efficient, half-day tour of Tokyo accompanied by a government-licensed and experienced multilingual guide! Your guide will introduce both modern and traditional aspects of this dynamic Japanese capital.

Due to the enormous size of Tokyo, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, a one-day tour would probably focus on one small area, which would still leave you in awe at the scale of the city. Tokyo is where you can experience both modern and traditional, and your experienced private guide will help you efficiently enjoy a half day in this dynamic Japanese capital.

Let us know what you would like to experience, and we will customize a four-hour tour that's best for you!

Note*1: Please select your must-see spots from a list in the tour information to create your customized itinerary.

Note*2: National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter certification is issued by the Japanese government requires a good knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture and history.

What To Expect

1

Asakusa

Asakusa (浅草) is the center of Tokyo's shitamachi (literally "low city"), one of Tokyo's districts, where an atmosphere of the Tokyo of past decades survives. Asakusa's main attraction is Sensoji, a very popular Buddhist temple, built in the 7th century. The temple is approached via the Nakamise, a shopping street that has been providing temple visitors with a variety of traditional, local snacks and tourist souvenirs for centuries.

Imperial Palace

**This tour does not include access to the inside of the Imperial Palace** The current Imperial Palace is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station. It is the residence of Japan's Imperial Family. Edo Castle used to be the seat of the Tokugawa shogun who ruled Japan from 1603 until 1867. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the country's capital and imperial residence were moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. In 1888 construction of a new Imperial Palace was completed. The palace was once destroyed during World War Two, and rebuilt in the same style, afterwards.

    Kazu took us to the Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Imperial Palace ( grounds do not except visitors except for 2 days a year, which was a disappointment) and Shibuya. He was an excellent guide and very informative. Took us on the underground to our venues then we used the ticket for the remainder of the day. We left Kazu at Shibuya with an underground map he printed off for us showing us how to get to Tokyo Tower.

    Our guide, Hideki, was absolutely lovely! We wandered the city on foot and via subway which was so much fun. We made three official stops and saw so many wonderful little treasures along the way. Hideki was very knowledgeable and made us feel at home. Toward the end of our tour, we were a bit tired and hungry so he kindly took us to one of his favorite local ramen spots which felt extra special. It was a lovely day and a fantastic way to get to know Tokyo.
