I don't know if you think something is different in Japan, but I suppose it is because it is based on a unique discipline called Shinto.
Let's explore what makes Japan unique by visiting several unique sites in Tokyo.
This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures.
I am based in Tokyo, but I am happy to arrange any kind of tour even to Kyoto and Nara. Just contact me for further details!

Tsukiji Outer Market
It is unique and the world's biggest wholesale fish market, where you can enjoy unique goods, including seafood. It is best suited for your breakfast visit.
Tokyo Station & Imerial Palace
Both of them are significant historical sites for Japanese history.
Let's see the world's oldest and majestic atmosphere.
Shinjuku Amusement Area
Visiting the Omoide Yokocho is a relic of Tokyo after WWII, and you can compare it to the super-modern view nowadays.
Meiji Shrine
It is one of Japan's most famous shrines and a power spot.
You will feel a different atmosphere there.
Takeshita Street
It is Japan's most popular POP avenue and a site for young girls.
You'll be able to find out why there.
Asakusa & Senso-ji Visit
Tokyo is a relatively young capital with about 400 years of history in Japan, but Asakusa has been an amusement site since the 17th century. You can still feel the Edo-period culture there.

Reviews
“Atsushi, an excellent guide”
Atsushi is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, who is very fluent in English. In addition to guiding us through Tokyo, he gave us insides in the religious, economic, cultural and political life in Japan. The tour itself was very well structured: we saw the old and the new. We also liked very much the use of the metro to visit the different places. It gave us a good view of how the city functions. We highly recommend Atsushi!

(3 reviews)I could also enjoy my time with you. It is always my pleasure to meet people like you two with different cultural backgrounds, as I can learn a lot from that. If you can visit Japan, I want to be your guide again.

“Wonderful Experience”
We selected Atsushi as our guide and could not be happier. Having not been to Tokyo before and being from the US we could never have seen as much in 8 hours as we did with a local. Atsushi has very good English and has a very pleasant nature. He takes the time to explain the history and the local customs. I want to point out that he customized our day based on our preferences. For instance we wanted to have Ramen for lunch so he suggested a very nice lunch stop. We would hire him again and strongly encourage you to do so.

(3 reviews)Thank you very much for your appreciation. I just wanted you to know the background of Japanese culture, history, and people. I was also shocked by your extensive knowledge of Japanese history. Your visit to the Tokyo National Museum will be even more meaningful and insightful. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your stay in Tokyo.

(3 reviews)I also could enjoy my time with you. Meeting someone from a different culture and background is always fun for me. I hope you enjoy your time in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka, which have different historical cultures from Tokyo.
