Tokyo is a political and economical center of Japan. It has many popular tourist destinations. We visit 4 attractive spots, Senso-ji Temple, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Shibuya crossing and Tokyo Metropolitan Government Observatory. You can experience and understand Japanese culture and history in this tour. If you visit Japan for the first time, this tour will be a good introduction for you.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Observatory is 243 meters high, has 48 floors above the ground and 3 floors under the ground. This obserbatory is located at the 45th floor at the hight of 202 meters. You can enjoy a great view of Shinjuku.
This shrine is dedicated to Empror Meiji and his wife Empress Shoken. This place is built in a forest and is unbelievablely tranquil even though it is located in the middle of Tokyo. You can enjoy quietness and solomnity here.
Shibuya crossing is the busiest crossing in Japan. This crossing is very famous because it has appeared in some films. Hachiko is a popular meeting place in Shibuya. It is also famous because a film featureing Hachiko was made, and made this dog known abroad. How about seeing this crossing from a high place with a cup of coffee?

“Excellent Guide”
Shoko is knowledgeable and very good in planning, we made changes to our itinerary, but she covered all the key areas very nicely and in good time. She is a very patient and warm person. We did Gotemba Outlet, Ropeway, Lake Ashi with her, all were wonderful :)

“Great day at Kamakura ”
I spent a fantastic noon exploring gems of Kamakura with Shoko San. She is such an affable and an adorable human being. She is very good in her craft and very flexible with the itinerary and makes sure you are comfortable touring with her. I will come back to explore other parts of Japan in the near future and would definitely tour again with Shoko. Thank you for the thoughtful mementos that you gave me Shoko San , God bless you and your family. It was an absolute pleasure knowing you. PK

(11 reviews)Thank you for writing such a good review. It is my pleasure that I could guide you in Kamakura. I myself could enjoy the tour and feel comfortable with you. Thank you. When we visited Hasedera Temple, unfortunately hydrangeas ended their blooming, but we could see some beautiful flowers, whose name I regrettably couldn't tell you at the site. Their name is Agapanthus. I'm happy that I can tell you the flower name at last. Thanks to you, I could know a lot about your country and other great foreign places to travel. I hope that you will have a great time in the rest of your stay in Japan. Shoko
