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.
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!

Guiding fee, hotel pick-up in Tokyo/Yokohama, The guide's Admission fee for Tokyo National Museum/ Ueno Zoo
Transportation fare (You and guide: Tokyo Metro One day Ticket is ¥600, Yurikamome Monorail Shinbashi to Odaiba is ¥330, Water Cruise from Odaiba to Hinode Sanbashi is ¥480, it is OK to use the Monorail round trip, or skip the Odaiba part, the rest depends on your hotel and requests),
meals, snacks, beverages
admission fee
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 ¥600, 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.
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.

“Great first day with Yoko in Tokyo”
We had a fantastic first day in Tokyo with Yoko! She picked us up directly from our hotel and shared so much valuable insight about both Tokyo and Japan, which was perfect for our first full day in the country. We walked over 15 km and covered a lot of ground, taking in a wide range of sights. Yoko also took us to a wonderful, authentic lunch spot and made sure every detail of the day was thoughtfully planned. Highly recommended!
Yoko T.
I appreciate your wonderful review, Merel san. I had a great time with both of you who were so intelligent, amazing lovely couple. Starting with the Kawazu-zakura welcoming you next to the National Stadium, we could see some wedding couples at Meiji Jingu Shrine, beautiful cherry blossoms at East Gardens, Asakusa and Ueno Park. It was really nice meeting you. I love the conversations we could have together. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you again, Yoko

“A whole day walking tour of Tokyo”
Yoko T. Was an an excellent guide and we will highly recommend her. Even before we got to Tokyo, she was communicating with us and very graciously answering all of our questions and giving us hints and advices regarding hotels, restaurants, etc…. The day of the tour, she was punctual and super well mannered and very easy to be with. She would adjust to our needs and wishes as well as providing a ton of historical and interesting information about all the places we were visiting. And to top it all, even after the day of the tour, she kept sending messages with more recommendations and tips. Thank you Yoko, you played a great part in making us enjoy our stay in Tokyo.
Yoko T.
Thank you so much for such a gracious review, Fadia san. I really appreciate your niece Sarah san introduced me to you. You, Chloe and your son were all so polite and amazing. I really enjoy spending the time together on March 12. I will be dreaming of guiding you to the Mount Fuji area when you come back to ski in Japan. Thank you again for a memorable day, Yoko
