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!

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

For a private vehicle, please book Private Tokyo Tour with Government Licensed Guide & Vehicle (Max 7 persons) or or Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Licensed Guide & Bus (Max 15 Pax)

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.

    Private tour of Tokyo with an itinerary recommended by you but infused with ideas from your guide. We did this on our first full day and have no regrets. Good way to get to know Tokyo!

    Kei was great. He adjusted the tour midway through because my daughter wanted a kimono. He helped us find a shop that sold beautiful kimonos and accessories. Even with the unplanned kimono shopping excursion - we still had the opportunity to see most of the things he had planned like the Bandi museum, Asakusa and the imperial gardens. We even squeezed in a couple gatcha stops and a delicious ramen lunch . It was such a relaxed day full of unexpected fun.our daughter said using the train was one of her favorite parts.

    Ken-san was absolutely an amazing guide. We walked for miles (my choice), rode the subways and train. Had lunch in a small local restaurant and toured the city for 6 hours. I highly recommend Ken for this tour. He was very knowledgeable and flexible, not to mention he speaks excellent English. Next time I go to Tokyo, I'm calling Ken-san.

    This tour was a great way to start our trip to Japan! Takako-san did great explaining the plan for the day and guiding us through the metro system. We went to Meiji Shrine, Tokyo National Museum, Harajuku, and Akihabara. She shared a lot of cultural history and insight that we couldn't have gotten otherwise. We learned a lot, had a delicious lunch, and felt much more comfortable navigating Japan for the rest of our trip.

    Koji tailored our tour to the suggestions I made, prior to the trip and he took us to all the spots in an easy sensible way. He was very pleasant and gave us an understanding of the areas we visited. Most helpful was the trip we made on the subway system and he explained and showed us how it all worked with a map and getting and charging the pasmo card. Afterwards we were able to effectively use the trains around town on the rest of our trip. Most unusual was a visit and explanation of the Golden Gai, and most quirky were the crowds watching the 3d cat…Tokyo is a crazy and wonderful city.

    Julie was an amazing tour guide. She was able to accommodate for all of our food allergies and took us to fun spots. We were able to see all 5 things on our list. The walking tour was very customizable and Julie showed us some spots that we never thought about going to.
