Shibuya
Our adventure begins in Shibuya, a bustling district known for its youthful energy and cutting-edge fashion. We'll start at the world-famous Shibuya Crossing, often dubbed the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. It is said that the maximum number of people crossing this intersection at one green light, about a minute, is 3,000. Surprisingly so many people cross this intersection without bumping into each other. We also visit the Hachiko Statue, a symbol of loyalty and fidelity.
Hamarikyu Gardens
We'll escape the city's hustle and bustle with a visit to the serene Hamarikyu Gardens. This traditional Japanese garden, once a hunting ground for the Tokugawa shogunate, offers a peaceful retreat with its beautiful ponds, teahouses, and meticulously manicured landscapes. Stroll along the winding paths, enjoy the seasonal flowers, and experience a traditional Japanese matcha tea at the charming Nakajima-no-Ochaya teahouse, situated on an island in the middle of a pond.
Odaiba
Odaiba is a futuristic island in Tokyo Bay. It is a hub of modern attractions and cutting-edge architecture. We will visit the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Gundam, and enjoy the view of the iconic Rainbow Bridge. Odaiba also boasts excellent shopping and dining options, including the Aqua City and DECKS Tokyo Beach, etc. We will have lunch in Odaiba.
Nihonbashi
Our tour concludes in Nihonbashi, a district that beautifully blends Tokyo's historical and contemporary aspects. Nihonbashi, meaning "Japan Bridge," has been a key commercial center since the Edo period. Walk along the charming streets lined with traditional shops, many of which have been operating for centuries.
We can visit Nihonbashi Bridge, Japanese traditional paper “Washi” museum, and the Mitsukoshi department store, Japan's oldest department store, and enjoy Japanese soup stock “Dashi” depending on your preference.

About Tour Guide Hiroshi S.
Hello, I'm Hiroshi.
I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I received a master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S.
I have lived in a city of Fujisawa, which is a city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also used to live in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city!
In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide you around Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around many sightseeing spots, such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc.
I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance.
Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture.
Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

“great day with super nice guide”
I really recommend to visit Tokyo with a guide. This way you avoid being lost many times and waste of time. I am very happy I met Hiroshi! He not only showed me great places in Tokyo, but also helped me find a gift I was looking for. I am very grateful for all his help and very nice company. The trip in his company was a great pleasure. He is not only competent guide, but also very good and kind man. Thank you again Hiroshi, for great time and all your help!

Thank you for taking your time to write a review. Tokyo's transportation system is very convenient, but also very complicated. I hope this tour helped you become familiar with it a little. We visited the Imperial Palace, Harajuku, and Shibuya, and I hope you were able to feel the Edo period atmosphere at the Imperial Palace, the New Year's mood at Meiji Shrine, and the crowds at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. If you have the opportunity to come to Japan, please contact me again. Let's enjoy Japanese culture and customs together!

Thank you for writing a review. I enjoyed the tour to Hakone with you. Hakone was much busier than I expected. We had to wait to ride on the gondola and sightseeing boat, but I would be happy you enjoyed the tour. Although we were not able to see Mt. Fuji due to the clouds, but we were able to see the volcanic activity at Owakudani. We also learned about the history of Hakone at the Hakone Checkpoint. I look forward to seeing you again in Japan!

Thank you for writing a review. I enjoyed two days with all of you. I hope you enjoyed the seafood and youth culture in Tokyo. Unfortunately, we were not able to see Mt. Fiji because of the clouds in Hakone, but enjoyed black eggs and boat cruise on the lake. There are many popular tourist destinations near Tokyo, such as Nikko, Yokohama, Kamakura, etc. I hope we can meet again in the near future. Let’s enjoy Japan’s culture and nature together!
