Enjoy an efficient, half-day tour of Tokyo accompanied by a government-licensed and experienced multilingual guide! Your guide will introduce both modern and traditional aspects of this dynamic Japanese capital. Due to the enormous size of Tokyo, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, a one-day tour would probably focus on one small area, which would still leave you in awe at the scale of the city. Tokyo is where you can experience both modern and traditional, and your experienced private guide will help you efficiently enjoy a half day in this dynamic Japanese capital. Let us know what you would like to experience, and we will customize a four-hour tour that's best for you! Note*1: Please select your must-see spots from a list in the tour information to create your customized itinerary. Note*2: National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter certification is issued by the Japanese government requires a good knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture and history.

It was built in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family.

The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's oldest temple.
    1 minutes
  • Rikugien Garden, Bunkyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    Rikugien (六義園) is often considered Tokyo's most beautiful Japanese landscape garden alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien literally means "six poems garden" and reproduces in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden is a good example of an Edo Period strolling garden and features a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.
    1 minutes
  • Yoyogi Park, Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    Yoyogi Park (代々木公園, Yoyogi Kōen) is one of Tokyo's largest city parks, featuring wide lawns, ponds and forested areas. It is a great place for jogging, picnicking and other outdoor activities. Although Yoyogi Park has relatively few cherry trees compared to other sites in Tokyo, it makes for a nice cherry blossom viewing spot in spring.

    30 minutes

    Harajuku (原宿) refers to the area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station, which is between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights.

    30 minutes
  • Odaiba District, Daiba, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a set of small man made fort islands (daiba literally means "fort"), which were built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against possible attacks from the sea and specifically in response to the gunboat diplomacy of Commodore Perry. More than a century later, the small islands were joined into larger islands by massive landfills, and Tokyo began a spectacular development project aimed to turn the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. But development was critically slowed after the burst of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
    30 minutes
  • Shibamata, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on the eastern end of Tokyo, not far from the Edogawa River which is the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-school charm from yesteryear and is a perfect break away from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions to see is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple not far from the station.
    1 minutes
  • Nezu, Nezu, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two of the neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo's old downtown—retain their last-century charm. You'll find historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine tucked away among shitamachi's narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops and retro stores selling old-style sweets and snacks. Here you can slip back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.
    1 minutes
  • Shinjuku Golden Gai, Kabukicho, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    Golden Gai is said to have started around 1950 when the black market that had arisen in front of Shinjuku Station moved and, in this new area, a number of eating and drinking establishments set up shop. Although Shinjuku has undergone considerable modernization since then, Golden Gai seems to have remained largely unchanged. The alley is narrow and cramped with countless signs advertising the various establishments that line the way. Many of the buildings themselves are made of wood, remnants hanging on from the Showa Era. Most measure only around thirteen square meters (one hundred forty-two square feet). It's a dim, boisterous place filled with the aromatic smoke of grilling meats. Yet despite the nearly endless number of slick new restaurants available in Shinjuku, this little alley continues to draw the attention of foreign tourists. Golden Gai is a popular “un-touristy” tourist spot.
  • Tokyo Tower, Shibakoen, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
    The Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, built in 1958. At 332.9 meters, it is the second-tallest structure in Japan.

We had an excellent introduction to Tokyo by Seizo. Our tour was tailor made and very diverse! First of all we visited the Shibuyu Scramble Crossing and Hachiko statue. We then went to Meiji Jingo Shrine which was fascinating and we learnt a lot about the history of Japan from Seizo. We saw colourful and busy Takeshita Street and then had a small walk by the Imperial Palace which was very peaceful. We even managed to have a delicious tempura lunch in our busy schedule! Seizo kindly showed us how to purchase subway tickets and was very informative. We would never have been able to do all of this by ourselves on our first day, so many thanks to Seizo for our enjoyable introduction tour of Tokyo.

Our guide was Show, he did an amazing job. He meet us at our hotel and we had a couple of ideas of places we wanted to visit. It was a walking/public transport tour with one of us in a wheelchair. We pretty much started our tour and made it up as we went along. Show took us on both the underground and above ground rail systems to get to various sites, which was really exciting, and nothing was a problem. Show took us to a nice restaurant, price not included of course, for lunch and Starbucks for a coffee in the afternoon, and yeah, we saw the sights we want to see too ???? we can’t speak highly enough of our guide, Show. He made it a fun, interesting day.
