Yanaka

An old temple town where you can feel the good old days in Tokyo. It is a beautiful calm town that preserves its tradition and has been featured in many Japanese dramas. It has a lot of narrow streets and a lot of curbs, which makes you easily lost. But your guide helps you walk around the area. It also has a very interesting finger puppet show theater, Hand Puppet Shokichi! The puppets are lovely and the movement is funny.

11:30 AM

Ueno Park

It has some museums including National Museum, temples, shrines, a lot of cherry trees, the oldest zoo in Japan. Walking through the park you can see many interesting things. Out of the park there is a bustling shopping town,Ameyoko. You can hear selling everythig from clothes to fish. It's a good idea to have some Yakitori, skewed chicken with beer at the stall.

Knowledgable, Personable Guide in Tokyo!

My teen son and I took a tour of the Tsukiji Market and Sensou-ji Temple in Asakusa with Tomoko. Tomoko met us in our hotel lobby, and balanced historical information with traditions and local knowledge along the way. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable time with Tomoko!

Thank you for your wonderful review. It was a wonderful weather and I also enjoyed guiding you. I was happy you were able to eat fatty tuna in Tsukiji market without making a line for a long time. I have only daughters. I envy you because you have a good son. Have a nice trip in Japan. Thank you.

A day in Tokyo

Thank you for the nice review, Rena-san, and John-san. You are a nice couple. Rena-san is interested in Japan. I enjoyed talking to you. John-san is always kind and a gentleman. It was my pleasure to guide you. Thank you and see you again in Tokyo!

Perfect Guide for Tokyo!

My husband and I were lucky to be guided by Tomoko during our recent trip to Tokyo. On two half-day-tours she showed us a whole lot of fascinating landmarks such as Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, Omotesando, Ueno, Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa. She knows everything about history, culture, food etc. and with her help we discovered so many things we would never have noticed on our own. Her timing and navigation were perfect, and though we walked a lot it was never exhausting as she took care to include some relaxing strolls through Tokio's beautiful parks. She also went out of her way to help us with some unusual shopping (musical instruments). Thank you, Tomoko, for a delightful and memorable experience!

It was my pleasure to talk about Japan to you. I hope you enjoy the sound of, the musical instruments, hyoushigi and orin! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo again someday. Thank you, Tomoko
