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 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.)

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.

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.

About Tour Guide Ken T.

I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

“Highly recommended”

We visited Tokyo in April 2025 and decided that for the first day it would be best for a guide to show us a few of the 'must see' highlights and navigate the transportation system in this fabulous city. We chose Ken as our guide based on other positive reviews and are happy to say that we also had a wonderful experience. When we were planning our day with Ken, he was always prompt in our communications and was able to arrange the most efficient schedule within the time we had available (and what our legs could endure!). He was very mindful of our pace, not rushing us from one place to another and making sure we were ready to move on. He was also very helpful in taking us to a couple of stores where he knew we could get a few items we needed and to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. He knows the city really well and guided us seamlessly through the maze of subway and train connections (and 'thousands' of stairs!). Ken's English is excellent and he is a real gentleman - he even followed up with us after and offered assistance if needed for our remaining time in the city. Based on our great experience, we unreservedly recommend Ken as a guide to anyone visiting Tokyo.

Ken T.

Thank you very much for being such an accommodating guest and your kind thorough review of the experience. I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me. I am glad that you had a fun and great experience (probably a bit tiring too going through the "stairs" and crowds)! I hope that I was able to assist you even only a little bit while you started to explore and enjoy the fabulous city of Tokyo. Thank you very much!

“Great tour guide Ken! ”

Ken was a great guide, showing us the sights and helping us with all our random questions! Without him we would have not known the correct etiquette at the Shrines and Temples, and understanding the differences. His English was great and he was friendly, kind and accommodating to our needs throughout the day - taking lots of great photos of us along the way. Even got to have a sing along at the Karaoke! I would highly recommend Ken :D

Ken T.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I truly appreciated you being such a friendly, kind, and accommodating guest. I really enjoyed the tour with you, visiting a lot of interesting places together. Especially, the Karaoke experience was fantastic and unforgettable! Thank you very much for everything.

“Best Tour EVER!!! ”

Ken T. was amazing with us. He was on time, very informative, knew the train system and explained everything as he went. Myself and my Son are from the states and he made us feel so welcome in Japan. If you need a tour guide, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND KEN T.

Ken T.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I cannot thank you both enough for being such an accommodating and nice guest. I am so glad that our tour went well and you felt welcome in Japan. I hope to be your tour guide again, when you decide to come back to Japan in the future.
