Asakusa
One of the most famous tourist destinations, it also showcases the interaction between Buddhism and Shinto. I will explain the origins of Buddhism, its introduction to Japan, and its relationship with Shinto.
Tsukiji
Tsukiji fish market is a well-known market.
There are many sushi restauranrts. Also you can have fresh fish sashimi and authentic wagyu skewers. Let's enjoy Japanese local food!
Akihabara
find figures of your favorite anime characters and enjoy playing crane games. If you're interested in experiencing Japanese pop culture, visiting a maid café is a great way to dive into the scene.
Shibuya
Without a doubt, the crossing is an iconic symbol of Japan. You can walk through it, take photos, and even look down at the bustling crowd below — it's sure to be a memorable experience. For those who love Pokémon or Nintendo games, a visit to the Pokémon Center Tokyo is a must, where you can find all your favorite Pokémon! Of course, for fans of Nintendo, One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, or Jujutsu Kaisen, there are official character shops in the area. You can find all your favorite characters and souvenirs to take home;)
Shinjuku (if time permits after Shibuya)
You can spot the real Godzilla head emerging from a building, as well as the famous cat advertisement. At the end of the tour, you'll have the chance to enjoy shopping for cosmetics, clothing, snacks, and souvenirs. Be sure to pick something special to remember your trip!

About Tour Guide Kent I.
Hello! I'm Kent. I'm a master of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, as well as a software developer. With over 10 years of experience, I've assisted with tea ceremonies at Zen temples and participated in Ikebana exhibitions for tourists, gaining deep insights into Japanese culture.
While I studied these cultural traditions privately, I majored in engineering and earned a degree in the field from Kyoto University. My days in Kyoto has made me familier with local lives and cultural activities.
After graduating, I worked in robot software development, collaborating remotely with colleagues in Michigan and engaging with clients and sales teams in Germany, India, and China. Their strong interest in Japanese culture and my background deepened my appreciation for Japan’s heritage, inspiring me to guide tours and practice cultural activities.
I currently live in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with my wife, enjoying life here. I’ve joined a robot startup and am working flexibly while continuing to guide tours. My aim is to share the rich history and culture of Japan through my tours and offer creative, immersive experiences.

“Great Day in Tokyo with Kent!”
Sure! Here's a polished version We had a fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Kent as our guide. He took us to interesting and unique places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. He was helpful, kind, and incredibly patient throughout the day, adding different spots for us. Kent made everything smooth and enjoyable, and we felt very well taken care of. We truly appreciated his calm and friendly approach, and it was clear he loves what he does. We highly recommend Kent to anyone visiting Tokyo – 5 out of 5!

Thank you so much for your kind message! Even though it was hot, we had a fantastic time :) Your family showed such great interest in Japanese pop culture. I still can't believe you won those cute plushies at the crane machine—what a moment! I'm so glad you enjoyed shopping in Shinjuku. It was wonderful to see you all having such a great time today. Enjoy the rest of your celebration trip! Kent
