And don't miss Hakone during your stay in Japan.

Once I lived in New Jersey in the United States of America for 3 years. That was wonderful experience. It's great pleasure to experience different cultures and new people.
I can't wait to share such precious rime with you.
Let's experience the best of Tokyo and never-ending excitement together.

The best tour for first time visitors to Tokyo. During this tour you can taste various kinds of best foods of Japan for about 500 to 2000 yen at Tsukiji fish market. Also you can be a visual learner of Japanese culture or history. I mean while enjoying eye-catching scenery, you can deepen your knowledge about Japan. We will visit not only old but also modern luxurious shopping street. If you have request, please don't hesitate to tell me about that. I will do my best to meet your needs.
Tokyo Tower and Ginza - Japan's most luxurious shopping district
Let's enjoy two major sight seeing spots of Tokyo. Tokyo Tower has long been a symbol of Tokyo. Go up to the observation deck with 360° panoramic view. Next to Tokyo Tower, there is a family temple of shoguns, leaders of military government in our history. More than 1300 stone statues are so adorable. Then head for Ginza. The most luxurious shopping street, not only high-end brand shops but architectures, food paradise on the basement floor of department store, whiskey tasting and so on.
Fire Ritual in Old Temple Town
Let's visit an old temple town . Watch spectacular fire ritual which is representative ritual for Buddhism. Next we walk to "Enma hall". Enma is a king of hell. Great Enma statue is waiting for you. After that you can enjoy Japanese traditional garden. You can truly relax in this serene garden. Also restored old town which really existed in the past is amazing. During this tour, you can get in touch with Japanese history and culture.

“Wonderful Tour in Asakusa, Sumo Building & Best Chanko Pot Meal”
Yoko was a wonderful guide. Her professionalism and excellent customer service started prior to our tour. We had hoped to do a sumo morning practice tour with Yoko. She worked hard to call multiple heyas but due to Sumo occurring so soon in Nagoya area, morning sumo watching was not an option. Yoko the helped us to create a personalized tour of Asakusa, Sumo Tournament Ring and made reservations to a wonderful Chanko pot restaurant experience. Yoko was knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned and experienced the unique cultural practices of visiting a temple, ate delicious Japanese sweets and had a wonderful time being immersed in the Japanese ways. The choko pot meal was sooooo delicious. The restaurant provided a very cultural meal. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Yoko will not disappoint. She was the BEST. Thank you Yoko for being an amazing tour guide for our family of eight.

Thank you for your kind words! I know you love sumo, so I was sincerely sorry that you couldn’t see sumo morning practice because of Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament. But at lunch time, all of your wonderful family said “This Chanko is so good!”. I was very happy to hear that. Thank you again for having chosen my tour. Please enjoy the rest of your stay!
“Interesting and informative ”
Having only a limited time in Tokyo decided to book a day with a professional guide. This was a good decision and meant we got a great guide who gave us a comprehensive tour of Tokyo with historical information. On top of this we got an insight on how to navigating the public transport and where to visit when we were looking around by ourselves.
