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.

10:30 AM

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.

12:30 PM

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.

02:30 PM

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.

Nikko

“Marvelous tour!”

We(6) had an extraordinary, all day tour, with Hiroshi yesterday to Nikko, Japan. He met us at our hotel in Tokyo and escorted us to subway, then train, then bus to Nikko. He was with us all day and escorted us back to our hotel. He answered all of our questions, and there were many! He was very attentive, knowledgeable, patient and kind. Nikko was so beautiful. We saw shrines, temples and The Botanical Garden. We walked in the stunning forest along the stream! Gorgeous! We were so very pleased with every aspect of our tour. We highly recommend Hiroshi!

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for taking your time to write a review. I also had a great time with all of you yesterday! It was sunny in Tokyo in the morning, but it started raining shortly after we arrived in Nikko. The weather wasn't great, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. At Rinnoji Temple, we were able to watch the Goma ritual. I think you got a sense of the temple's solemn atmosphere. At Toshogu Shrine, we saw the Yomeimon Gate, said to be the most magnificent in Japan, as well as the famous Three Wise Monkeys and the Sleeping Cat. We also enjoyed the riverside promenade and the botanical garden, which offered a different atmosphere from the temples and shrines. I will continue to deepen my knowledge about Japanese history, culture, customs, etc., so please feel free to ask me anything if you have the opportunity to come to Japan again. Let's enjoy Japan together!

“This was a fantastic tour and our tour guide, Hiroshi was amazing. ”

Let’s just say the day started out terrible, we got off a cruise ship to a downpour, but Heroshi was there to meet us and help us plan the day. He bought tickets ahead of time for later in the day, when the weather had cleared, for the Skytree and had everything planned out perfectly. He shared just enough information without overloading and taking too much time. It was a fun day but be prepared for a fair amount of walking. Heroshi, made a great tour into a fantastic tour.

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for taking your time to write a review. The tour got off to a terrible start. Even though we had a tent, we had to wait for a taxi for almost an hour in a pouring rain. However, I enjoyed talking with you while we waited. The rain stopped by the time we took the Sumida River cruise in the afternoon. We were able to enjoy views of Tsukiji, the Ryogoku Kokugikan (sumo stadium), and the Tokyo Skytree from the boat. From the Skytree, at a height of 450 meters, we could see Shinjuku, Tokyo Bay, etc. If you ever plan to come to Japan, please contact me again. Besides Tokyo, there are many other wonderful places like Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone, etc. Let’s enjoy Japan together again!

“A lovely day ”

It was a lovely tour. We saw a lot. Hiroshi is a good guide. Unfortunately, there was also a very unpleasant incident. Hiroshi had bought the wrong tickets for the Skytree for us in advance. As it took nearly an hour to sort it out, we were unable to go up the Skytree. That is extremely frustrating. As a result, we had no other way of visiting the tower. It would have been the highlight of our trip. Very sad.

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for the review. I am very sorry that you were not able to go up the Skytree. But I did not buy the wrong tickets. I purchased the tickets for handicapped persons at your request, but I learned for the first time that day from a Skytree staff member that tickets for handicapped persons would no longer be sold to foreigners starting in April. Furthermore, there were no descriptions about tickets for foreigners. I purchased the tickets in March, so I explained this to the Skytree staff, had the tickets issued, and gave them to you. I left after confirming that you had entered, but I later heard that you were told you couldn't enter. It's a shame I wasn't there to negotiate. While this was Skytree's fault, I also bear some responsibility. I apologize. I will take the utmost care to ensure this does not happen again. I hope you won't be discouraged by this and will come to Japan again.
