Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #3 (8 Hours)
This compliments my Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #1 and #2 in order to offer wheel chair friendly and more relaxed tour. All the sites in this tour are wheel chair friendly with easy access and logistics. If you prefer, you can book a private car or mini van for easier logistics. I would be happy to give minor modifications if you wish.

Your hotel in Tokyo
I will meet with you at your hotel in Tokyo and we start the tour from there!
Meiji Jingu Shrine (No admission fee)
Meiji Jingu Shrine is one of the most renowned Shinto Shrines of Japan. It deifies Emperor Meiji who is regarded as the key person who made great contribution to modernize Japan after the end of Edo Era. If you visit Meiji Shrine, you will have a clear idea of Shinto - the indigenous religion of Japan. I will introduce the formal ritual of Shinto prayers, praying for the continued safe journey for you and yours. This always is a great starting point of your Tokyo tour.
Hama-rikyu Garden (Admission Yen 300 per person)
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.
Lunch of your preference
After Hama-rikyu garden, we could either eat in Ginza or if you wish, we will discover your favorite food in Tsukiji.
TSUKIJI - 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.
FUKAGAWA EDO MUSEUM - This is a small but 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.
Back to your hotel
I will escort you back to your hotel.

“Wonderful day #2 in Tokyo!”
We hired Tom for our first two days in Tokyo. Tom speaks fluent English, is communicative, kind and cordial. Our second day was excellent, with lunch at a delicious restaurant in Asakusa! Tom took care of booking a tea ceremony for us and it was an unique and immersive experience into the Japanese culture. We were able to visit several places in Tokyo calmly and peacefully! Thanks, Tom! Now we have a friend in Tokyo! We hope to return soon!
