Tokyo Half-day As You Like with Kaori

Ginza, famous as district with world-class bland shops, but there are more about Ginza. Let's find out.

Meiji-jingu shrine. Surrounded by 100 years forest. Sacred atmosphere in the very center of town.

Ueno Park is full of greenery with temples, shrines, culture and samurai history. Nice & relax!

Yanak is local Shitamachi (downtown) area, retaining the old town atmosphere. Get lost in small narrow alleys.

Shibuya scramble Crossing is getting worldly well-known. Hachi-ko dog statue is just nearby.

Asakusa's Senso-ji temple is one of the top tourist spots in Tokyo. Night time walking is comfortable with less people.

If you want night life in Tokyo, Shinjuku is the answer. Also here, a various kinds of new activities available.

There are a lot of beautiful Japanese-style gardens in Tokyo. Let me pick one for you according to your plan.

Akihabara electric town. Sub-culture (Otaku) Mecca!

About Tour Guide Kaori S.

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively.

I love travel both international and domestic. I myself love travel freely. That's how I love helping individual travelers like you. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love and sharing my seasonal favorites.

I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request.

・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY

・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY

・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour

I often spend multiple days with the same group to accommodate itinerary for multi days by including my seasonal favorites.

I often do Mt.Fuji or Hakone tour. In many cases, the locations are mixed up between Mt.Fuji Five Lakes area and Hakone area, which are not the same place. Please refer to the map I uploaded on gallery to check the sites you are interested in. Also my blogs will help your understanding both areas - "The location difference of Mt.Fuji (Fuji Five Lakes) and Hakone".

As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!
