Enjoy an efficient, one-day tour of Tokyo accompanied by a government-licensed and experienced English Speaking guide! Your guide will introduce both modern and traditional aspects of this dynamic city.
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 full day in this dynamic Japanese capital. Let us know what you would like to experience, and we will customize a six-hour tour that's best for you!

What To Expect
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.

5.00It was wonderful to have a private guide to help get comfortable travelling around the city and learning about local customs. Don't be afraid to specify to your guide if you want less places on the itinerary and time built in for food or rest stops :)

5.00A private 6-hour tour with Masa was just what we needed to get acclimated on our first full day in Tokyo. Masa arrived very prepared for a day of sightseeing. He shared interesting information about our selected sites, made great food suggestions, provided guidance about local etiquette, and oriented us to public transportation - all very helpful and appreciated!! We had a fantastic time!
Wonderful welcome to Japan!

5.00Masa was a thoughtful and high energy guide. We spent the majority of the day with him on our first full day in Japan and he not only gave us a great tour of the landmarks we were interested in visiting; he was efficient enough for us to have an additional stop and helped us get oriented in not only the country but the customs and the train systems. He is a kind and thoughtful guide who was comfortable leading the way and guiding us on a memorable and fun day. We thoroughly enjoyed his company, expertise and kindness. Thank you, Masa!
