The tour will be customized according to your interests and preferences with 3-4 sightseeing spots in the center of Tokyo, so please let me know your ideas, where you want to visit, to do and to eat. If you don't have enough ideas, I will provide you some recommendations.
At your hotel lobby or a station/ an iconic place near your hotel (in case your hotel locates in the center of Tokyo)
At the last sightseeing spot / a station near the last visiting area
The tour will be designed according to your interests and preferences, so it is more flexible than the fixed tours. It normally consists of 3-4 sightseeing spots (The number of spots may be changed according to area we visit and the weather on the day) including "must-visit" places in the center of Tokyo. In case you don't have enough ideas, I will provide you some recommendations.

My wife and I recently visited Japan and spent one full day with Mariko touring Tokyo. We found her to be highly responsive throughout the planning stages and very helpful during the tour. Although the transportation system in Tokyo is excellent, it's an extremely crowded city. Being with Mariko allowed us to see far more than we'd have been able to experience on our own had we tried to figure it all out independently.
Hello Kevin, thank you for your posting your positive review. I am glad if l could help making your trip enjoyable through the tour and you became a big fan of our country! I hope you will visit Japan again with your wife or family because there are plenty of attractive places, especially local areas, other than big cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Thank you again for sharing your precious moment with me!! Mariko
