East Garden of Imperial Palace
Entering through the Otemon Gate, we will stroll through the grounds of the East Garden where Edo Castle was situated. Please note that the East Garden is closed on Mondays and Fridays. Additionally, some Tuesdays are closed when the previous Monday is a national holiday.
As an alternative, we will join the Imperial Palace Public Tour by the Imperial Household Agency on Fridays. Pre-registration is required. As an alternative for Mondays, we will visit the observation room on the 35th floor of the Shin-Marunouchi Building.
Tsukiji Outer Market
The Tsukiji wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, but the 90-year-old outer market is still very busy and attracts many people. We will walk around the outer market for shopping, snacking, and having lunch.
Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Skytree has been an iconic structure since 2012. We can have a splendid view of Downtown Tokyo from the 350-meter or 450-meter observation decks. On a sunny, clear day, we may be able to see Mt. Fuji from there.
Sensoji and Asakusa Area
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. Exploring this town reveals many more delights to enjoy. Asakusa has long been and continues to be a bustling district that attracts many visitors.
(1) Ginza / (2) Akihabara

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.

“Tokyo overview”
Keiko was an excellent guide on our first full day in Tokyo. Very knowledgeable with excellent English. Very flexible and helped us learn to navigate the train system. She helped us with knife purchase as she could translate directly with shop owners

“Keiko T...you are the best”
Our guide Keiko went above and beyond..This is our first trip to Japan and she made things easy and informative our first 2 days in Tokyo. Thank you so much helping us learn how to navigate the metro system. She even went over in detail how to do it tomorrow without her guidance. If we ever come back we will call on her again.
Keiko T.
Sherri, thank you so much for your kind review. I truly enjoyed showing you around. It must have been quite an intensive tour, trying to see and experience as much as possible. Now that the busy part is over, I hope you both can relax and enjoy the rest of your time in Tokyo together at your own pace. I also wish you a wonderful journey with the other tour members as you continue exploring beyond Japan.

“Fantastic Guide”
Keiko T. was a wonderful guide. She met us at our hotel and was prepared and ice packs for an our tour in the hot, but beautiful Tokyo. Keiko spoke perfect English and was knowledgeable, funny, and provided insights and information beyond the requisite touristy info. She taught us how to use the subway for example. She provided guidance on navigating Tokyo Station to purchase tickets and travel to Kyoto on the bullet train. She is an excellent guide - would hire her again and again. ありがとうございます (arigatou gozaimasu).
Keiko T.
Michelle, thank you for your kind review. I also truly enjoyed spending time with you. It was a really hot day during our tour, but I'm glad you enjoyed visiting some of Tokyo’s must-see spots and experiencing the city. If you ever have a chance to come back, please let me know — I’d be happy to show you around even more!
