Tokyo Private Tour Guides

“Great tour ”

We had a lovely tour with Yoshi - he took us to all the major sites we wanted to see, and more, and he was very patient with my two boys (7 and 10). We booked it on our first full day in Tokyo which helped is orient ourselves and decide where we wanted to visit again. Be prepared to keep up, because he walks fast (this coming from a New Yorker who loves to navigate the crowds)!!

“Highly recommended”

Etsu help us stroll around Tokyo and she even bring us to where the train is located going to our hotel.

“Toshi is an excellent guide and made our visit wonderful ”

My husband and I, along with two of our young adult sons, pent two very wet days touring Tokyo with Toshi, who skillfully guided us from place to place, despite the soaking spring rain. Toshi was unfailingly kind, helpful, and informative. I am a curious person and Toshi was a wealth of insight into all things Japanese. His English is excellent, and he also brought us to wonderful restaurants, such as a fantastic sushi restaurant in the seafood market area. We did not request a specific itinerary but left it to our trusty guide; we spent one day touring the east side of the city and the second day going around the west side. We spent eight hours each day with Toshi, who met us outside of our rented flat each morning near Ueno Station. Obviously you can't pack it in and get a big heaping of true Tokyo flavor trying to sort out logistics on your own as a newbie. Toshi took all the stress out of that. We like using public transportation when it's safe and clean, and we enjoyed learning from Toshi so that we could manage a third day on our own without getting confused. Some of my personal favorite places that we visited include the Shinjuku Imperial Gardens - the Sakura were in bloom and the rain kept the crowds in check -- the Meiji Shrine (the most magnificent Shinto shrine that I have seen in a month here in Japan) along with its forest, the amazing view of Tokyo from the top of the Metropolitan building, the Asakusa old town area with the five-story pagoda and the Senso-ji Temple complex, the electric town and hipster/gamer shopping area of Akihabara (our young adult kids were in heaven here) and the crazy Shibuya Scramble Crossing that throws you into a moving mosh pit, along with the winding streets of themed cafes (cat, owl, hedgehog, French maid, micro pig) and tiny eateries. I also loved seeing the cherry tree festival in Ueno Park. We had a heck of a good time with Toshi and highly recommend his services.
