We enjoy hiking along the coast line of Lake Chuzenji or in Senjogahara wetland which is registered under the Ramsar Convention as “Oku-Nikko-shitsugen” (the wetland in Highland Nikko) and cruising in the lake. Spring (May to Jun) and Autumn (Sept. to Oct.) are good seasons for this tour. In Spring, you can enjoy a variety of flowers and fresh young leaves. In Autumn, you should be fascinated by autumn leaves as well as schools of red-colored kokanee salmon coming up into a stream from the lake for spawning.
From Nikko station, we take a bus to Oku-Nikko, or Highland Nikko, after lunch we hike along the coast of Lake Chuzenji or in Senjogahara wetland, and cruise in the lake.

We enjoyed going around Tsukiji outer market. At Hamarikyu Gardens I was curious about the “mound” with a door that I saw and Shoji explained the purpose of it very well. Shoji brought us to a nice place for tempura at Asakusa. I wish we had enough time to visit the museums at Ueno Park. Shoji obliged when I requested to go back to have photos of Rodin’s sculptures. And we’d like to thank Shoji for including an additional stop (Yushima Tenjin Shrine) in our tour at our request.
I am very grateful to your kind words. I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed the Tokyo tour with me. I had a great time with you too. Thank you again for choosing me. I hope we will see you again soon!
Shoji provided us with a great overview of some main attractions in Tokyo. He allowed for a flexible itinerary and was happy to change it as the day went along if there was something we were interested in doing or seeing. We had a fabulous day with him and really enjoyed his company. his personality and demeanor are very calm and it is easy to spend time with him. He arrived on time and had good explanations of all sites. He was happy to answer any questions throughout the day as well and we had many! We will be happy to go another tour with him when we can!!
Thank you very much for your kind words. They really encourage me. I’m very glad you enjoyed the Tokyo tour with me. I also had a great time with you. I hope you will come back to Japan sometime.
Our tour was wonderful! We learned a lot about Japan/Tokyo during our day with Shoji. He is a wealth of knowledge! We covered a lot of ground in just 1 day. -Highly Recommend!
Thank you very much for your kind words and rating. I had a great time with you too. I hope we will meet again some time soon.
Time well spent
Thank you very much for joining the Tokyo tour and giving me a good evaluation. I also had a great time with you. I hope you will come back to Japan some time. Thanks, Shoji
