Explore traditional Japanese culture and food at our Tsukiji Market tour . Try their mouth-watering Sushi ,large grapes and other local neighborhood delicacies. Then move to Asakusa by subway where you'll enjoy strolling along the streets and alleys where you'll find local souvenirs. You could visit Ueno instead of Asakusa. At Ueno you would find historical shrines and temples built in a serene forest. Then cap our tour at Ginza, the most prestigious and elegant shopping town in Japan.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. We experienced both modern and traditional Japanese culture today such as anime and KAWAII maids at Akiba, swords and sumo at Ryogoku and a temple and Tokyo Sky Tree at Asakusa. The Illuminated tower looked like a jewelry in the sky. I hope your great autumn days in Japan.

Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. It was fun and comfortable riding around Tokyo in a van. We visited both traditional and modern part of Tokyo. At Asakusa, you tasted Ningyo-yaki and prayed your wishes. At Shibuya, you experienced crossing and saw a lot of KAWAII girls. You tasted authentic Japanese style lunch such as YUBA, TEMPULA, TOFU... etc. You learned a new useful word, SUMIMASEN. I hope your days in Japan will be great. Arigato-gozaimashita!!
