Tour Important Information
It's a private tour only for you! That means you can change the itinerary freely & flexibly.
We'll use public transportation and walk a lot, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
I recommend you to have some Japanese cash. International credit cards are unavailable at ticket machines for trains and subways and at some small local shops.
If you are going to enjoy shopping, it would be better to take your passport with you because you can get tax-free by showing your passport under certain conditions.
[What to expect]
Tokyo is an exciting city with lots of nice spots. But it would be a bit difficult for first-time visitors to go to several places using the convenient but very complicated transportation system. You can count on me! I'll take you destinations efficiently while giving you information about each spot's background, history and Japanese culture, customs, traits, religions, art, everyday life and so on. Let's enjoy exploring Tokyo together!

“Ginza Architectural tour”
Jolly is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide with a deep interest and understanding of the various architectural landmarks in Ginza. She was very well prepared and we passed a very pleasant afternoon in her company strolling and admiring many sites in this famous neighborhood. Well known for it’s luxurious brands, it was wonderful to have this added dimension to our stay. I highly recommend Jolly, she was very nice to be with and clearly enjoys sharing her interest in both art and architecture with visitors to this wonderful city. Thank you for creating a memorable experience for us Jolly!

“No h?sitation visiting Tokyo with Jolly”
With Jolly, we learned a lot about Japan today and rhe past. She took us to both spiritual places and very commercial areas, as we asked to. She was also very helpful in advising us for our next day visits. Only sorry that we could not stay longer with her than the 4-hours tour. Next time for sure.

(11 reviews)Thank you so much for your warm review! You're so friendly and intelligent people interested in history and culture. I felt really happy because you listened earthestly to my stories. I enjoyed a lot talking with you about various topics. I also felt sorry to say good bye to you, but today we used a chartered taxi and you had to pay an extra charge for an extended period of time. That's why I tried to finish the tour on time... I hope to see you again someday. Keep enjoying your adventure in Japan!! Jolly
