Tour Important Information

MINORS below 20 years old are NOT ALLOWED to drink alcohols in Japan but there are places that they could soft drinks while you drink Sake.

If you have any food allergies, please let me know.

The sightseeing spots are scattered around the big City of Tokyo, e.g. from Asakusa to Meiji Shrine would take approximately forty-five minutes.

Shopping spots might take much more time, because there are quite crowded and shopping usually takes time.

We will basically use Tokyo Metro One day Ticket ￥600, but if you have JR Pass or would like to see the City itself from the train, we will use JR, too, if you would like to. Asakusa, however, is not close to any JR station but only Metro Subway station.

There are various kinds of sakura in the Japanese Gardens or Ueno Park :-)

Or if you don't want to, please make sure to tell me so, but Meiji Jingu Shrine would be an hour walk at least, anyway.

East Gardens will be closed on Mondays and Fridays.

ke, not only traditional dry type but also quite fruity and some sweet ones. Give them a try!!

We are supposed to WALK A LOT, so PLEASE WEAR WALKING SHOES.

Highheels or sandals might give you a hard time. There is no ca

There is BAGGAGE INSPECTION at the entrances of East Gardens.

For typical tourist souvenirs, you can get them at places like Asakusa.

Sake list might be quite overwhelming and hard to imagine what it tastes like but just looking at the name, but I can advise you what to drink if you tell me your preference.

About Tour Guide Yoko T.

Hi, I'm Yoko, a National License Tour Guide＆International Kikisake-shi.

I speak with an American accent, 'cause I lived in Seattle, Washington for six years in my childhood(3-9 years old). My tours might be better with people who LOVE TO WALK, have STAMINA and keen to learn about the culture.

Now I live within a walking distance from Ueno Park, Tokyo, so I see a lot of International tourists walking around in my neighborhood every day.

(PLEASE CHECK EACH TOUR. The expenses are spelled out, too.)

"Tokyo is larger than we thought and the transportations are so complicated," Swedish guys told me. I'm here to help you. I know well about Tokyo, Yokohama, Yamanashi etc. and I travel most of the parts of Japan.

I would appreciate if you could see more sightseeing spots with me as your guide and enjoy your stay.

I love to answer your questions, even though I became nearly breathless when I was with American guests, a family of three, curiously asking me questions after questions:-)

I appreciated their interest in Japan very much.

I also go mountain trekking for nearly thirty years. I've been to the summit of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Kitadake three times. Talking about Mt. Takao, maybe more than fifty times.

I hope we can enjoy the beautiful view together.

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and having a good time together.

Hope to hearing from you soon.
