Tokyo morning tour at a Japanese garden, Tsukiji food market
If you have only a half day available, this is a good tour. Tsukiji food market is one of the most popular visiting places. There is a lot of shops which sell fish, dried food, wagyu- beef and of course 'tuna'. You can eat some sushi, seafood barbecue, Japanese omelet, Japanese sweets and so on. After Tsukiji we walk to Hamarikyuu Japanese garden .( about 10-minute walk). It has a beautiful Japanese garden surrounded by the skyscrapers.

Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Knowledgable, Personable Guide in Tokyo!”
My teen son and I took a tour of the Tsukiji Market and Sensou-ji Temple in Asakusa with Tomoko. Tomoko met us in our hotel lobby, and balanced historical information with traditions and local knowledge along the way. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable time with Tomoko!

I was happy you were able to eat fatty tuna in Tsukiji market without making a line for a long time. I have only daughters. I envy you because you have a good son. Have a nice trip in Japan. Thank you.

“Perfect Guide for Tokyo!”
My husband and I were lucky to be guided by Tomoko during our recent trip to Tokyo. On two half-day-tours she showed us a whole lot of fascinating landmarks such as Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, Omotesando, Ueno, Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa. She knows everything about history, culture, food etc. and with her help we discovered so many things we would never have noticed on our own. Her timing and navigation were perfect, and though we walked a lot it was never exhausting as she took care to include some relaxing strolls through Tokio's beautiful parks. She also went out of her way to help us with some unusual shopping (musical instruments). Thank you, Tomoko, for a delightful and memorable experience!
