About Tour Guide Shin N.

Elizabeth san, Thank you for your kind review. I just want to refresh our tour day in early July 2026. When you booked my date, you gave me specific ideas of destinations & meals, which helped me a lot. Based on your request, we started our tour from Meiji Jingu Shrine & Takeshita Street close to your hotel. We moved to Tsukiji Outer Market. We enjoyed Edomae Sushi at a Sushi restaurant few min away from Tsukiji Station, where we could enjoy authentic but reasonable Sushi. After lunch, you explored the unique food culture of Tsukiji and bought some Japanese snacks there. We took a taxi from Tsukiji to Imperial Palace. Unfortunately, the East Gardens was closed for maintenance, we walked to the main gate of Imperial Palace, where we took some memorial photos in front of Double Bridges, one is stone made, another is steel made. We talked about the Edo Castle history and the Imperial family. We had a short tea break at the center of Marunouchi business area, where you enjoyed Japanese ice-cream and fruit gelato. We got on JR Yamanote Line to Shibuya and join the crowded passengers of Shibuya Crossing. Our goal was a Wagyu beef restaurant near Harajuku. I recommended Sukiyaki, the most popular way for Japanese to enjoy Wagyu, a kind of Japanese dishes which is made of high-grade beef, vegetable, egg, and special soy sauce. We ordered the medium size course of Sukiyaki; however, its quantity was enough to make our stomach full. I hope your family enjoyed one busy day, lots of walking & eating, in Tokyo! Arigatou, Shin

Tony san, Thank you so much for your generous comment. Your kind message encouraged me a lot and reminds me of our two days in Tokyo. Please let me know when your family member has next chance to visit Japan. I am happy to be with you, anytime. Thanks, Shin

Tony san, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We met at Narita airport on the first day. Based on your request, I booked a hire to your hotel in Ueno with no necessity to get on trains. Using our own car enabled us to visit Imperial Palace on the way to Ueno. We took a memorial picture in front of main entrance of Imperial Palace. After your checking in, we walked through the Ueno Park, where were quiet and less people. Your family showed interests in Toshogu Shrine, worshiped for Tokugawa Shogunate Family with 5 story pagodas. We enjoyed Tonkatsu, deep fried pork, dinner together. Next morning, your family went to Team-Lab on your own at Toyosu, we tried Ramen noodles at Toyosu market. In the afternoon, we used Narita Express to pick up your elder son and return to Ueno by Tobu Sky liner. That means in your two days, we experienced all three choices of transportation between Tokyo and Narita by car, two different train companies, which is the first time in my guiding career. Thank you again for giving me such unique opportunity. Leaving your hotel, we moved to Shibuya by Yamanote Line. We walked the famous Shibuya Crossing and enjoyed Sushi dinner. It was lucky for us to enjoy our 2day-tour under comfortable weather. When you have next chance to visit Japan, I am very happy to join your family again. Regards, Arigatou! Shin
