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.

Thank you for writing a review. Since it was a holiday, Asakusa, the Imperial Palace, Shibuya, and Harajuku were quite crowded, but I’d be very happy if you enjoyed the day tour of Tokyo. Japan has four distinct seasons. Please visit Japan again in a different season. You might discover a different side of Japan than you did this time.

“A wonderful guide”
Hiroshi was wonderful. He was a pleasure to be with and made the day more enjoyable.

Thank you for writing a review. I'd be delighted if you enjoyed the tour in Tokyo. The samurai ninja experience was truly fascinating. Asakusa was crowded, but I hope you enjoyed shopping. It was only a half-day tour, but I had a wonderful time with you. If you have the opportunity to come to Japan, please contact me again. Let's enjoy Japanese traditions and culture together.

“Very warm and kind person with a lot of knowledge”
Hiroshi is really a very kind and nice person. He knows everything and also has a good sense of humour. Thank you for a lovely day Hiroshi.
Hiroshi S.
Thank you for the review. Although the Tokyo Fish Market was closed, I'm glad that you enjoyed Tsukiji Honganji Temple and the Tsukiji Outer Market. We were also able to enjoy the view of Tokyo from the boat on the Sumida River cruise. We weren't able to meet the Emperor at the Imperial Palace, but I hope you felt the atmosphere of the Edo period. I'd be delighted to see you again in Japan soon！

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
