I recommend ending up the day with the night view of the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay, the most beautiful night view in Tokyo I would like you to see.
We will visit the spots you would like to in Tokyo.I will make an itinerary based on your choices and requests.
(The popular highlights will be Meiji Jingu Shrine, East Gardens and Asakusa with Nakamise Souvenir Shopping Streets.)
Sightseeing spots in Tokyo is widely spread, so I guess we can only visit three or four spots a day.

Tour Important Information
The sightseeing spots are scattered around the big City of Tokyo, e.g. from Asakusa to Meiji Shrine would take approximately forty-five minutes.
I will do my best to visit all the places you request, however maybe we could only visit three or so places a day.
Shopping spots might take much more time, because there are quite crowded and shopping usually takes time.
We will basically use Tokyo Metro One day Ticket ￥700, but if you have JR Pass or would like to see the City itself from the train, we will use JR, too, if you would like to. Asakusa, however, is not close to any JR station but only Metro Subway station.
We are supposed to WALK A LOT, so PLEASE WEAR WALKING SHOES.
Highheels or sandals might give you a hard time. There is no cab services in the Japanese Gardens or Ueno Park :-)
Or if you don't want to, please make sure to tell me so, but Meiji Jingu Shrine would be an hour walk at least, anyway.
East Gardens will be closed on Mondays and Fridays and the Tokyo National Museum will be closed on Mondays except National Holidays.
There is BAGGAGE INSPECTION at the entrances of East Gardens and the Observatory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Please let me know the places that you would like to visit and what you're interested in, so I could include places matching your interest.
If you're a non-native speaker of English and cannot understand words like "freshman" and "stairs," please check other guides. (I speak natural speed American English.)

About Tour Guide Yoko T.
Hi, I'm Yoko, a National License Tour Guide＆International Kikisake-shi.
I speak with an American accent, 'cause I lived in Seattle, Washington for six years in my childhood(3-9 years old). My tours might be better with people who LOVE TO WALK, have STAMINA and keen to learn about the culture.
Now I live within a walking distance from Ueno Park, Tokyo, so I see a lot of International tourists walking around in my neighborhood every day.
(PLEASE CHECK EACH TOUR. The expenses are spelled out, too.)
"Tokyo is larger than we thought and the transportations are so complicated," Swedish guys told me. I'm here to help you. I know well about Tokyo, Yokohama, Yamanashi etc. and I travel most of the parts of Japan.
I would appreciate if you could see more sightseeing spots with me as your guide and enjoy your stay.
I love to answer your questions, even though I became nearly breathless when I was with American guests, a family of three, curiously asking me questions after questions:-)
I appreciated their interest in Japan very much.
I also go mountain trekking for nearly thirty years. I've been to the summit of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Kitadake three times. Talking about Mt. Takao, maybe more than fifty times.
I hope we can enjoy the beautiful view together.
I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and having a good time together.
Hope to hearing from you soon.

“2 days in Tokyo”
Yoko really added to our experience, was very knowledgeable about history, religion, football, politics etc, also very engaging. She was massive help using trains, shinjuku station is difficult to navigate. Also recommended some nice restaurants. Definitely 5 stars.

Yoko T.
Thank you so much for a great review, Ross san. I really enjoy talking with both you and your lovely wife about various topics. Also it was great that we could visit historical sites like Zojoji Temple and Hibiya Library to know about the Edo Castle which I don't visit that often with the guests. I hope you watch "Perfect Days" directed by Vim Venders shot also at Asakusa and the Shogun Series when you get back to the UK. I hope you enjoy Kyoto and the rest of your stay in Japan.

“Great Tour with Yoko T.”
If you like to walk, Yoko will give you a great tour. She took us all over Tokyo and tailored the tour to whst we wanted to see. I wanted to see Hina dolls and she took us to see them and explained the history. We walked around Yanaka and saw traditional houses, Shinto shrine, and ate at a restaurant that served food like you would eat in a Japanese home. She suggested we visit the Yamatate Museum. She also took us to OTA museum for wood block prints. But most importantly Yoko -San of helped us buy our Kabuki tickets beforehand, suggested restaurants to eat at, told us where to buy bento boxes for Kabuki theatre, etc. etc. Thank you Yoko for taking such good care of us. Sue and Pat

Thank you so much for a great review, Susan san and Patrick san. It was a great pleasure of mine to be of help for you. Susan san, I really love how you appreciate our Japanese culture not only the Japanese paintings but also Kabuki acts as much as you can with making various lovely comments. We could enjoy the quieter Tokyo including the off the beaten path around Yanaka and Nezu Shrine while I felt sorry that Omotesando Boulvevard was overcrowded on Saturday to enjoy the Pritzker architecture but we can see some unique fashion of the youngsters there. I appreciate so much your kindness and your generosity again. I hope you could enjoy more of Japan by visiting Hakone, Takayama and Kyoto during your tour. Have fun, please!!

“Memorable day in Tokyo”
Since I only had one day in Tokyo, I asked Yoko to organise a tour tailored to my tastes. Yoko asked about my personal interests and made suggestions accordingly. She also took my jet lag and aversion to large crowds into consideration. The day itself was very exciting and left me with many wonderful impressions. I am especially grateful to her for all the tips for the rest of my trip and the little pilgrim mascot she gave me for my 88 temple journey on Shikoku. I can recommend Yoko 100 per cent.
Yoko T.
Thank you so much for a wonderful review, Dana san. I'm glad that you chose me so I could have an amazing time talking with you. You are so smart that I really enjoy talking with you about Berlin, about your country and about Japan etc. I was happy with your positive comments about each place we visited. Koya-kun is the symbol that you are not alone. I wish you will enjoy Nakesendo and Ohenro-san, too. I will be looking forward to your pictures of your journey. Stay safe!!

Mt. Fuji's View from Lake Kawaguchiko Up-to-You Tour starting from Shinjuku
Mt. Fuji isn't always visible, especially when it's hazy. Please choose the spots in the highlights you would like to visit around Kawaguchiko/ Mt. Fuji, based on your interest/preferences, your physical condition and the weather. It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.

Flowers in Kamakura: Great Buddha, Hasedera & Eishoji Temple
Kamakura is a very healing city, which became the capital of Samurai at the end of the 12th century, and has a lot of temples where we can see lovely flowers. We will ride a train for approximately an hour or so from Tokyo/Yokohama/Kawasaki area to visit there. Appreciating the flowers, some temples and shrines, we can also enjoy the beautiful twilight seaview.

Edo Tokyo Tour: East Gardens & Ueno Park or Asakusa
East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is one of the Must-See spots in Tokyo, I believe. The gardens are quite beautiful and there was the castle of the Capital approximately four hundred years ago and now around there is the business center of Japan. After visiting the East Gardens, we will visit Ueno Park, which also has some historical buildings. Or you can choose Asakusa, one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo instead.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
