Tours
Tokyo highlights 3-hour tour.
Meiji Jingu shrine is located in the center of Tokyo, Harajuku but surrounded by big man-made forest. It is the most popular shrine in Japan. Only 3-minute walk takes you to Omote-sando where famous brand shops and nice cafes are lined. Enter the small street, it's Takeshita-street, most popular place for young peole. You can see a lot of 'kawaii' there. At the end of this tour, you will be overwhelmed by the bussiest intersection in the world, Shibuya Scramble crossing.
Tokyo morning tour at a Japanese garden, Tsukiji food market
If you have only a half day available, this is a good tour. Tsukiji food market is one of the most popular visiting places. There is a lot of shops which sell fish, dried food, wagyu- beef and of course 'tuna'. You can eat some sushi, seafood barbecue, Japanese omelet, Japanese sweets and so on. Just seeing Japanese food including tuna and kitchen goods there is also interesting! After Tsukiji we walk to Hamarikyuu Japanese garden .( about 10-minute walk). It has a beautiful view.
Home visit, Private sushi making tour in Tokyo
I pick you up at Tsukishima station. On the way to the venue, we drop in at a supermarket and do some shopping for sushi making including sashimi. At my private house, we start making sushi. After finishing making sushi, we start a Sushi party! Having the sushi you made, we talk a lot with some green tea, beer, or sake. After that, I send you to the nearest station.
Tokyo Highlights 1-day for First Timers (traditional)
This tour covers must-see spots for first visitors. If you don't have a special idea about Tokyo-tour, it's the best tour. You can learn about Japan a lot through eating, visiting museums, strolling in a Japanese garden, having some match-green tea, and visiting the most popular temple, Sensouji temple in Asakusa. You will visit Tsukiji food market, too.
Half day traditional Tokyo tour, Yanaka and Ueno!
Yanaka is an old temple town which survived WWII air raids, having nostalgic atmosphere. Walking around the back streets, you can see usual Japanese lives. The shopping street has a variety of shops. It also has Hand Puppet Showkichi. Enjoying the old town, we can reach Ueno. It has a lot of museums, a famous temple called Kaneiji, a shrine with a lot of red torii gates, a nice park which has 800 cherry trees, Ueno Zoo and also the bustling Ameyoko shopping town.
Tomoko K. Japan Tour Reviews
“Wonderful morning with Tomoko ”
Tomoko was a pleasure to tour with... early on we exchanged messages about how we wanted to spend our time, she was very receptive to our ideas to tour the back-streets of Asakusa and even helped us getting tickets ahead of time for the Sumida River Cruise, a huge WOW, we had time after the cruise to tour the Hama-Rykuen gardens and Tomoko recommended we have tea at the tea house there - so enjoyable thank you so much for your insights and knowledge and help!!

“A Delightful Day with Tomoko K”
My sister and I had a delightful day with Tomoko. She was friendly, kind and in tune with our needs. Prior to our tour, she messaged us to determine our interests and planned our itinerary accordingly. However, on the day of our tour, it was extremely stormy, so she adjusted our Itinerary to provide a fun and interesting day despite the storm. Tomoko was an excellent guide. She has a good command of English, can expertly navigate Tokyo and is knowledgeable about the culture, history and interesting sights. We truly enjoyed our day with Tomoko. She has a good sense of humor and was like a sister to us. We highly recommend Tomoko as an outstanding tour guide. Thank you, Tomoko, for a delightful day! Diana and Georgia

Georgia-san, thank you for the presents. Your handmaid porch is lovely and well-made. I like it. It will be my treasure and I will remember both of you when I use it. Thank you again, and I hope you will visit Tokyo in the near future. Tomoko

(19 reviews)Thank you for a good review, Daniela-san. I also enjoyed guiding such a nice group. Your son is a brilliant and good boy! When he didn't get any toy in the Clane game, he was disappointed but he never complained about it. The weather is not good today, however, from tomorrow it will be sunny and warm. I hope you will enjoy Japan and come back again near future. Thank you.
