Option A: Meiji Jingu ~Harajuku ~Shibuya Crossing

Meiji Jingu Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Established in 1920, the shrine's expansive grounds are mostly dense woods, intentionally cultivated to protect the main shrine structure. Meiji Jingu Shrine stands as an oasis in the heart of a bustling metropolis. As you stroll through the grounds, you can immerse yourself in a spiritual atmosphere.


Harajuku is Tokyo's center of youth culture and fashion. It is famous for trendy boutiques, unique street fashion, colorful sweets, and the lively Takeshita Street, where you can experience the latest trends.


Omotesando is an elegant shopping district known for its tree-lined avenue, luxury brand stores, stylish cafés, and modern architecture. It offers a more sophisticated atmosphere than Harajuku and is often called Tokyo's Champs-Élysées.


Shibuya Scramble Crossing is one of the world's busiest pedestrian crossings and a symbol of modern Tokyo. When the traffic lights turn green, hundreds of people cross from all directions at once, creating an exciting and unforgettable scene. It is one of Tokyo's most popular photo spots.

Optioin B: Sensoji Temple ~Rikugien Garden ~Ginza

The Kaminari-mon Gate of Sensoji is one of the most photogenic spots in Tokyo for tourists, making it a must-see location without a doubt. Along Nakamise Street, you'll find numerous souvenir shops offering great gifts for your friends and family.


Rikugien Garden is one of Tokyo's most beautiful traditional Japanese gardens. It was created over 300 years ago during the Edo period for a feudal lord. The garden is designed to recreate scenes from classical Japanese poetry, allowing visitors to enjoy seasonal beauty throughout the year.


Ginza is Tokyo's most famous upscale shopping district. It is known for its luxury brand stores, department stores, fine dining, and elegant atmosphere. At the same time, you can also find long-established Japanese shops and traditional craftsmanship, where history and modernity come together.

About Tour Guide Keiko T.

Hello. I am Keiko, a nationally licensed tour guide for English-speaking tourists. I love traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. When I was young, I embarked on a long journey to explore more about my life. I settled in a small town in Illinois, USA, enjoying a new life while studying at the state university, and then moved to Florida to work for a while.


After coming back to Japan, I have been working in downtown Tokyo since 2008, mainly as a translator and sometimes as an interpreter in various fields, including central government offices, TV stations, and a university. Seeing the increased opportunities around the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I transitioned into the tourism industry and am currently working as a tour guide, basically giving day tours of downtown Tokyo, Fuji & Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko.


I love meeting people from different backgrounds, talking with them, and learning new things. That's why I enjoy hosting guests from abroad who want to explore Japan. Many local people helped me during my journey, and now it's time for me to give back. Come and meet me here; I will show you around amazing places in Japan.

Reviews

“Keiko was an informative and caring guide ”

Keiko helped me to sort out my first day in Japan in a caring and helpful way. She offered information on all sites we visited and practiced with me the use of the train network I asked for showing me each step of the way. Great company as I am a sole traveller. I willl use her again and do not hesitate to recommend her services.

Norma, thank you so much for your kind review. I’m so glad to hear that I was able to help you prepare for your trip to Kyoto the following day. I’m also happy to hear that you had a lovely day in Kyoto, spending time with your friend’s son. If you come back to Japan and need someone to accompany you, please feel free to let me know. I hope you have a wonderful cruise journey!

“Superb Tour Guide”

We could not have imagined a more kind, caring, personable professional guide than Keiko. She adapted to our requests to slow down the pace and made every effort to listen to and answer our questions. Her knowledge is formidable! We unhesitantly recommend her as a private tour guide. Thank you for making our first visit to Japan so memorable.

David, thank you for your kind review. I am so glad to hear that you had a wonderful time celebrating your 45th wedding anniversary in Tokyo with me. I wish you all the best as you face the difficult situation you are going through. My heartfelt wishes are with your daughter.

“Outstanding Tour and Tour Guide”

We had a wonderful day viewing the sights around Toyko with our tour guide Keiko T. She made sure we were able to see Mt. Fuji since it was on our bucket list. We saw the 8 ponds at Oshino Hakkai, Arakura Fuji Shrine and Lake Kawaguchi... so beautiful!! Keiko made sure we were safe and went out of her way to accommodate us since we're a bit elderly. Her heart of gold made sure we were comfortable the whole day. Keiko is an outstanding Tour guide. I'd hire her again in a heart beat. Thanks Keiko for making our Japan trip outstanding.

Keiko T.

Crystal, thank you so much for your kind review. I truly appreciate it. I believe we were meant to meet in Japan at this time. I genuinely enjoyed spending time with all of you. The only thing I wish is that you had been able to see the beautiful, perfectly cone-shaped Mt. Fuji with your own eyes. I hope you'll come back to Japan someday to see it, or even visit the 5th Station. Have a safe trip back home. I wish you and your family happiness, good health, and many blessings.
