We loved Yuka showing us around Tokyo.

It was our first morning in Tokyo and we are so glad we found Yuka to show us around. She was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learnt a lot about the history of Tokyo and Japan from her. Thank you Yuka!

Tokyo Up-to-You Tour

Tokyo

I recommend ending up the day with the night view of the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay, the most beautiful night view in Tokyo I would like you to see. We will visit the spots you would like to in Tokyo.I will make an itinerary based on your choices and requests. (The popular highlights will be Meiji Jingu Shrine, East Gardens and Asakusa with Nakamise Souvenir Shopping Streets.) Sightseeing spots in Tokyo is widely spread, so I guess we can only visit three or four spots a day.
