Edo Tokyo Tour: East Gardens & Ueno Park or Asakusa

Highlights

Tokyo

Japanese (Native), English

4 hours 30 min

Private tour (only you and your group)

East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is one of the Must-See spots in Tokyo, I believe.

The gardens are quite beautiful and there was the castle of the Capital approximately four hundred years ago and now around there is the business center of Japan.

After visiting the East Gardens, we will visit Ueno Park, which also has some historical buildings.

Or you can choose Asakusa, one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo instead.

Important message from the guide

It will be first booked, first served basis, but could you make inquiries before booking?

If you're interested in TOKYO, MOUNT FUJI, or NIKKO, please CHECK the TOURS before you make inquiries.

(Some transportation for Mount Fuji or Nikko might be fully booked if you do last minute booking.)

I could also guide KYOTO, HIMEJI etc. if you will cover my transportation fare round trip from Tokyo.

If you'd like a car chartered, please check the PRIVATE CARS TOUR by yourself.

It's concerned with your budget, so I'm afraid I cannot make arrangements for that, but I will be happy to guide you with the car you chartered.

It's impossible to make quotes without knowing the spots you would like to visit.

Nikko and Mount Fuji are approximately two hours on Limited Express from Shinjuku or Asakusa.

Tokyo is not a compact city, but a huge one.

If you have difficulties with stairs, please tell me in your message. Thank you.

“Knowledgeable and flexible ”

Yoko was very knowledgeable about everyplace we visited. She was also understanding of my slower walking pace. I knit and crochet and she helped me find some Made in Japan yarns I can't find in the USA. Thank-you for the history lessons and fun quizzes!

“Top guide in Tokyo ”

If you are visiting Tokyo you need Yoko. She is very knowledgeable about Tokyo. She customized a perfect day for our families first visit. She was able to make sure everyone in the group got to see or do something they wanted. Helpful every step of the way 10/10.

“Excellent tour and excellent guide. ”

Yoko was an amazing guide! She was lovely to spend the day with and the amount of knowledge she has about Japan is impressive. We would have never been able to see so much of Tokyo in 8 hours if it wasn’t for her. We also had an authentic Japanese lunch and managed to also attend a matcha tea ceremony. Thank you Yoko for a lovely day!

Thank you so much for the sweet day and an amazing review. I'm glad you'd like the washoku set meal and the tea ceremony. The restaurant I recommend at Tsukiji serves a very reasonable lunch with the best misoshiru I know so far so when you come back to Tokyo please give it a try. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you again. It was so lovely meeting both of you!!
