Tokyo morning tour at a Japanese garden, Tsukiji food market
Joined 2022
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.

"Thank you very much for your gracious review, despite the unfortunate cancellation of the tour due to your wife's health condition. It was truly regrettable, as I believe guiding the Dominic family would have been an immensely enjoyable experience. I sincerely hope she makes a swift and full recovery, and that you are able to make the most of your time in Japan. I can only imagine how disappointing this must have been for Dominic family as well."

“Enjoyable relaxed walking tour”
I had arrived a day before a 16 day tour that I was going on, so wanted to see something other than sights I would cover in my long tour. Tomoko spent time understanding what I was interested in. We had a very enjoyable and relaxed 3 hour walk during which time Tomoko shared some history and cultural information. We came upon a couple of galleries and small local shops which was lovely, as well as seeing some major sights. I would recommend taking a tour with Tomoko. Thank you Tomoko!!

Dear Kirsti-san, thank you for the good review. As soon as I met you at the station, I felt like we had been friends for a long time. I was also relaxed and enjoyed being with you. You know a lot of flowers. You taught me the flower ' bottle brush'. It is beauitiful and has an interesting name. Whenever I see the flowers I will remember your smile. Thank you for everything and have a wonderful tour in Japan! Tomoko

“A pleasant walk with Tomoko san”
We had the pleasure to walk with Tomoko San through ueno Park and the streets of yanaka district. Tomoko was very kind and give us a lot of interesting informations about Japanese culture, history, tradizione, and many other topics. We visited a house/museum of a famous sculptor in Yanaka. We felt like a japanese friend would welcome us in her city. Thanks Tomoko San Flavio & Barbara
