What To Expect
Senso-ji Temple
Senso-ji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. The name Asakusa appeared for the first time in the history of Japan in 628, when a small statue of the Kannon was caught by two fishermen in Asakusa. The people in the village built a small temple for the statue not knowing anything about its origin. The statue has been kept hidden in a sealed wooden box since 645, when a Buddhist monk who had been invited from Nara to see the statue suggested doing so. The box was opened once in 1868 by officers sent by the government to execute orders regarding the separation of Shinto and Buddhism. The temple received constant support from powerful samurai and it became a family temple of the Tokugawa shogun in the early 17th century. Most of the temple buildings were lost during the Second World War. The main building was reconstructed in 1958, and the five-story pagoda in 1973.
Tsukiji Fish Market
However the main Tsukiji Market was replaced in 2018 by the Toyosu Market, the outer market at Tsukiji remains. There are still various restaurants and shops containing numerous interesting items. (Some shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays,Wednesdays, and national holidays)

5.00Tomoya and Riley were wonderful tour guides throughout our five hour layover in Tokyo. They had a perfect plan for us to use our time wisely throughout the adventure. They had to guide fifteen students and four teachers. My students had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend them!

5.00Best tour and loved being pick up and returned to the airport to enjoy Tokyo while on a layover. Tokyo has so many amazing locations that I wish we had more time there. Our guide Maharjan Sanu Babu was the perfect host and got us back to the airport in time for our flight. Absolutely Loved Odaiba, Sensoji temple and the Shinjuku cat was great to see and don't miss godzilla. I feel like we truly got to see so much of Tokyo in the most comfortable vehicle.

5.00Our Tokyo Layover Private Tour was incredible! We were originally booked for a 5-hour tour, but thanks to a change in our return flight, we were able to extend it to 7/8 hours. Even though we’re a well-traveled family from NYC, everyone we know who’s visited Tokyo recommended using a guide, and that was great advice. Tomoya (Sato) was our guide, and he was amazing. If we were on our own, we probably would have needed two full days to see what he showed us in just 8 hours. I highly recommend this tour, whether you have a layover or are your first day in Tokyo. It’s a great way to get a feel for a big city that has so much to offer.
