Meeting Point
At your hotel in Tokyo 23 Districts
Your hotel in Tokyo
I will meet with you at your hotel in Tokyo to start your wonderful tour!
① FUKAGAWA EDO MUSEUM (60 minutes) - This is the best museum for EDO Era of Tokyo.
EDO is an old name of Tokyo. The name EDO comes from the old name of the city that goes back to the 17th century. "FUKAGAWA EDO MUSEUM" offers vivid and "real" atmosphere of the lives and people of the old times. There is no restrictions of photo and/or video shooting, so I will help you to take pictures/videos of yours with the "people" and lives of the 17th century Tokyo.
② TSUKIJI (60 minutes) - Japan's oldest fresh food market
This used to be the world's biggest and busiest sea food and fresh food market. Now although the market has been shifted to Toyosu, Tsukiji still attracts people from all over the world and Japan for its nostalgic and practical charms. You will enjoy street food such as fresh sushi, sea food, Kobe beef and variety of fruits. Plus there are some green tea and kitchen ware shops.
Lunch in the central Tokyo area
LUNCH (60 minutes) - At an authentic Japanese restaurant for your favorite cuisine
③ HAMARIKYU GARDEN (60 minutes) - One of Tokyo's most renowned Japanese gardens
This is an epitome of historical wonder of Tokyo – fusion of old history and modern cosmopolitanism. If you stand in the middle of this gorgeous garden, which offers you very wide natural perspective in the middle of Tokyo, you will feel somewhat mysterious sensation as if you were in “time machine”. In fact, this garden is the time machine itself. The properties from Edo Era of 17th century are surrounded by towering 21st century buildings. The famous “300 year-old pine tree” will give you strong spiritual power for longevity of life.
④ Tokyo Tower (60 minutes)
Tokyo Tower was built in 1958 and its height is 333 meters. As of today, Tokyo Tower is Japan’s 2nd highest construction.
It is a historical and nostalgic monument for Japanese people. Even after a much higher tower was constructed in 2012, which is Tokyo Sky Tree Tower with the height of 634 meters, Tokyo Tower has always been Japan’s popular sightseeing place for such nostalgia.
This "nostalgic" sensation is one of the most unique experiences you can ever expect - just like its European counterpart, Eiffel Tower of Paris.
⑤ GINZA (30 minutes) - Japan's most famous high end shopping districs
Ginza is located in the center of Tokyo. It is a high end shopping & commercial area. For its luxurious image, Ginza is often compared with the 5th Ave of New York City or Oxford St of London. Other than the high end shopping or window shopping, you could visit fine art galleries in Ginza for classical paintings, modern arts & crafts work. Let's enjoy the highest of Japan's sophistication.
⑥ AKIHABARA (60 minutes) - Japan's top electronics and pop culture center
Back to your hotel or wherever you wish to end the tour
If you end the tour, at wherever you wish to end, you will save a traveling time to your hotel, such as 30 - 40 minutes. I will give you the precise directions of public transportation so you could return to your hotel if you prefer it that way, or of course, I would be happy to escort you back to your hotel.

Tour Important Information
For the public transport, the total cost should be minimal such as Yen 2000 for all day per adult. So, if walking is no problem, I would recommend the public transport and walking. Above tour plan is based on the idea of using public transport.
My transportation fees will be covered by me.
If you need a hired vehicle for any reasons, you could book a car or a van through Triple Lights. The standard cost for a hired vehicle would be approx. Yen 7000 per hour. This way, your mobility will be easier compared with the public transport and walking but of course, it will cost more.
Important message from the supplier
For Mt. Fuji and Nikko, private car need to be arranged prior to the tour for the local transportation.

“Tsutomu Must Be Tokyo's Best Guide”
Tom is a very thoughtful and caring person. Before we began the day he took tome to understand our piorities and he ensured they were met. This included time at Tokyo Station helping us with train ticketing for later in our visit to Japan. For the sites we visited Tom took the time to explain the historical and cultural significance of each. Tom was prepared with maps and visual aids to support sharing information. During a shared lunch we enjoyed the exchange of information on a variety of topics. This helped us to have a deeper appreciation of life in Japan. But back to the beginning, Tom listened to us and ensured our needs were met. He is much more than a tour guide. My wife and i had an excellent day with Tom. J & S 7 May 2025

Good thoughts radiate. If I was able to provide good service with positive mental attitude, it was solely thanks to the warm hearts and quality personality of my guests, Joseph and Sharyn, who were very kind and thoughtful all along the way. I truly enjoyed the pleasant conversation which I was hoping that it would not end. Joseph and Sharyn, you are the very reason why I love the job of tour guiding. I hope there will be a chance when we meet again. I will be wishing nothing but the very best for you and your beautiful family. Sincerely, Tom Harada

“Best tour guy EVER”
We had an amazing two day tour of Tokyo with thom. He was amazing guide who showed us every top site in Tokyo. His easy and professional demeanor made us so comfortable. What a fun, smart, friendly man! We would highly recommend him to anyone. We also shared the love of Long Island since he lived there for many years.

Good human relationship is mutual. During the past 2 days, I have been feeling extremely lucky to share precious time with such wonderful people. I am confident that my service was great only because the people I worked for truly encouraged that I would be that way. My beloved guests, Lin, Bob, Randy and Kenny just kept inspiring me to be a kind person and an efficient tour guide. I have been truly blessed having an opportunity to work for such nice and kind guests. My heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful guests and sincere appreciation to GoWithGuide for providing me with such precious opportunities. As I said, I will continue to pray for the continued safe travels and blessings for my wonderful guests who are in the special place of my heart.

“Travel with Tsutomu”
Tsutomu is absolutely wonderful individual and brilliant guide . He is very knowledgeable in history, politics , he is very intelligent. His command of English is very good. He really cares about his function as a guide. My wife and I had great time in Tokyo thanks to Tsutomu. I recommend him highly to anyone who wants to explore Japan.
Tsutomu H.
I truly appreciate the kind words. If I did something good, it is all because of the natural reaction to the people I was serving for. Vladimir and his elegant wife are so kind that my natural reaction will always be in the same nature. I feel so fortunate that I have the opportunity of working for such nice guests. That’s the very reason why I love this job.
