Meeting Point
At your hotel in Tokyo or near Tokyo
Asakusa Sensoji Temple
Sensoji is the oldest and the most popular temple in Tokyo. It was a center of Edo culture and still preserves the appearance of old Edo, Tokyo's traditional atmosphere. The five-story pagoda, incense burner and Nakamise-shopping arcade will take you back to old Tokyo.
Nihombashi area
The Nihombashi district in central Tokyo has been a center of Japanese business and culture, a hub for merchants and craftsmen since the start of the Edo dra. Today it is a modern neighborhood with high-rise buildings, you will find the essence of Tokyo at Coredo Muromachi shopping center. We will visit some of the famous shops incluidng Kiya (Japanese knife shop), Senbikiya (fruits shop) and Mitsukoshi Department store.
Lunch at Nihonbashi area
There're several restaurants offering various kinds of foods in the area. If you like to try Japanese cuisine, I will show you Japanese restaurants in Coredo Muromachi Terrace.
Harajuku Meiji Shrine and Omotesando Avenue
The Meiji Shrine is a sanctuary in the middle of the city away from all the hustle and bustle of modern Tokyo. Harajuku/Omotesando located just outside of the Meiji Shrine is a vibrant neighborhood with trendy eateries and boutiques. If you're interested in young pop culture, I will take you to Takeshita Street, a hub of trendy cute culture. Then we will walk along the Cat Street to Shibuya.
Shibuya
Japan's trend-setting town dedicated to young fashion and culture. It has become a symbol of Tokyo's dynamism with the Shibuya Crossing, the state-of-the-art buildings and SHIBUYA 109. Miyashita Park is a new type of facility combining a park, retail property, and a hotel. You will also see the Hachiko Statue, a meeting spot near the JR Shibuya Station, which is famous as a loyal dog.

Tokyo Tour Reviews
“A great day with Kumiko!”
We spent our first day in Tokyo with Kumiko. It was a great experience and one I would highly recommend. She helped us get Suica cards which were very useful as we navigated the Tokyo transportation system. Kumiko enabled us to efficiently see the highlights of Tokyo (Temples, Shrines, Harjuku and other areas) without spending time getting lost and trying to figure out directions in train stations. Her English is very very good and she explained the history and background of the places we visited. Thank you Kumiko!

(6 reviews)Dear Susan and Tim, Thank you so much for your feedback. I certainly enjoyed the time with both of you. It's easy to catch a cold in between seasons and be exhausted because of jeg lag, different cultures, and the environment. Please take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of your journey in Japan! Kumiko

“Thank you Kumiko”
Thanks to Kumiko for getting me around while it was raining. We managed to see the Senso-ji temple and walk through the laneways before the rain got heavy. Then we made our way to a few shopping centers to stay dry before returning. The rain made for some great photos!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my day!!
