Tokyo highlights 3-hour tour.
Meiji Jingu shrine is located in the center of Tokyo, Harajuku but surrounded by a 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. After Tsukiji we walk to Hamarikyuu Japanese garden .( about 10-minute walk). It has a beautiful Japanese garden surrounded by the skyscrapers.

“Awesome Tour Guide in Tokyo”
We had the best time with Tomoko as our guide in Tokyo. She was very friendly, knowledgeable about Japan’s history and very easy to understand. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and felt like she put together a great tour to the Imperial Palace, Uyeno Park to see the cherry blossoms and Shibuya Crossing. “Moko” was very attentive to our needs and made sure we all stayed together and that she addressed our questions. Thank you Moko!!

"Thank you very much for your gracious review, despite the unfortunate cancellation of the tour due to your wife's health condition. It was truly regrettable, as I believe guiding the Dominic family would have been an immensely enjoyable experience. I sincerely hope she makes a swift and full recovery, and that you are able to make the most of your time in Japan. I can only imagine how disappointing this must have been for Dominic family as well."

Hi, I'm Nobuo. Please call me "Nob" or "Noby". I am a national certified English tour guide. I became a tour guide, after working for a foreign company for over a quarter century. I am interested in the Edo (the old name of Tokyo) culture. And I also join volunteer groups which are "the Edo-Tokyo Museum" and "the Imperial Palace East Gardens", which used to be the Edo Castle. You will learn the present Japanese culture, history, the Japanese way of thinking, and a Japanese sense of beauty based on the Edo culture by joying the tour. I am sure that I can provide you with the most impressive tour. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!
