Tokyo Up-to-You Tour

The sightseeing spots are scattered around the big City of Tokyo, e.g. from Asakusa to Meiji Shrine would take approximately forty-five minutes.

I will do my best to visit all the places you request, however maybe we could only visit three or so places a day.

Shopping spots might take much more time, because there are quite crowded and shopping usually takes time.

From JANUARY 1-5, Meiji Jingu Shrine and Asakusa will be JAM PACKED with locals for the New Year's prayers. You will need to wait in queues for hours. I highly recommend visiting other places instead.

EAST GARDENS will be closed from Dec. 28- Jan. ３.

We will basically use Tokyo Metro One day Ticket ￥600, but if you have JR Pass or would like to see the City itself from the train, we will use JR, too, if you would like to. Asakusa, however, is not close to any JR station but only Metro Subway station.

We are supposed to WALK A LOT, so PLEASE WEAR WALKING SHOES.

Highheels or sandals might give you a hard time. There is no cab services in the Japanese Gardens or Ueno Park :-)

Or if you don't want to, please make sure to tell me so, but Meiji Jingu Shrine would be an hour walk at least, anyway.

East Gardens will be closed on Mondays and Fridays and the Tokyo National Museum will be closed on Mondays except National Holidays.

There is BAGGAGE INSPECTION at the entrances of East Gardens and the Observatory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Please let me know the places that you would like to visit and what you're interested in, so I could include places matching your interest.
