Joined 2024
After the hotel meetup, in the original plan, the tour starts from visiting Ueno Park, walking around the big pond, checking out Toshogu Shrine and Saigo Statue. Afterwards, depending on the preference, visiting the Ueno Zoo or National Museum (or not). Grabbing lunch nearby, then heading out to Ameyoko Shotengai closeby, potentially trying karaoke & game centers as well. Last, heading to Shibuya to check out the famous Shibuya Crossing, wrapping up shopping/dining/entertainment you like.

Meeting Point
Lobby at your hotel
- I will come pick you up at your hotel.
Ueno Park
Arrival time depends on your hotel location. We can walk around the big pond in the park, enjoying the nature and visit the temple or iconic statue there.
Tokyo National Museum
We can visit Tokyo National Museum after the walk in the Ueno Park. The guide can either wait outside so that you can take your time or go in together if you prefer (English materials prepared by the museum will be available.) The admission rate is around 1,000 yen per person.
Lunch
Lunch nearby. I will list up several restaurants depending on the type of food you would like to try around the area. (Please note that the Ueno area is crowded so we might have to wait sometime to sit in the table depending on the timing.)
Ameyokoshotengai
We can walk the shopping road called Ameyokoshotengai just outside the Ueno Park. We can get some snack to eat on the go or window shop. Also, we can visit game centers there to try the Japanese style purikura, crane catcher or other games. We may also visit a karaoke shop to try genuine karaoke for a short period of time, if you are up to it. How much time we spend depends on what you would like to try or skip.
Asakusa sensoji
Head out by subway train to Asakusa to check out the famous Sensoji temple and nakamisedori.
Shibuya
After spending sometime in Asakusa, we can head out to Shibuya by train. First we can check the famous scramble crossing in Shibuya and then statue nearby. Afterwards, we can do some shopping or go to a cafe to rest a bit. Here we can explore some karaoke shops or game centers too, if you liked it in Ueno. After activities, we can wrap up the trip by dinner, for which again I can list up some restaurants depending on what you want to try.
Ending Point
Back to your hotel or the last place of visit

“Excellent day out with Naoto ( aka Ken )”
From start to finish the whole day was very enjoyable and informative. Naoto took great care in showing us a huge selection of Japanese history and culture along with the modern side of Japan. His English is excellent and his manner is one of kindness and great humour. He tailored our tour to suit our requirements which was to see and experience the non tourist areas to give us a sense of the Japanese way of life and he certainly did that with style and grace. We finished the fantastic day by celebrating with Naoto in a British Pub, Japanese style and a great day was had by all. Thank you Naoto for a brilliant experience and Mandie and I wish you well for your future tours.
