Then visit your choice of historic, cultural and culinary attractions in the vibrant capital. After you’ve seen the sights, your guide offers convenient drop-off at your hotel. Full-day custom tour on foot or by private vehicle Eight hours of sightseeing allows you to take in even more of the city. Start with a visit to Tsukiji, the world’s largest wholesale fish and seafood market. Or perhaps head to downtown Tokyo and its fantastic museums, enjoying a bit of the old Tokyo that remains in the street food and traditional shops.
Hamarikyu Gardens
How about touring the Imperial Palace or Hamarikyu Garden, where you can appreciate the magnificent view while enjoying traditional sweets and green tea?

5.00Tadashi was a wonderful guide. He worked with us in advance to design a very personalized itenirary, offering great suggestions for where to go. He shared helpful information about the history and culture, and was so helpful in navigating our family through the train/subway and as we made our way throughout the day. He even helped us design an itenirary for the next day for travel on our own. Thank you so much Tadashi!!

5.00Our experience with Roy was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, he made our day in Tokyo smooth, informative, and truly memorable. He did an excellent job guiding us through Japan’s public transportation system, which can feel overwhelming at first. Thanks to him, we felt confident navigating it on our own afterward. What really stood out was his knowledge. At every stop, he shared meaningful historical context and explained the cultural significance of what we were seeing. Even while we were traveling between locations, he continued to teach us about Japanese culture and daily life. It was a lot of information, but presented in a way that was engaging and easy to appreciate. Beyond his knowledge, Roy was incredibly kind, patient, and polite. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day and was a pleasure to spend time with. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Tokyo highlights in one day

5.00We had a fabulous day in Tokyo with our tour guide Minako. Tokyo is a huge city and very difficult to navigate without help. Minako spoke flawless English and took us to all of the locations that we had asked to see. We travelled by train, metro, taxi and walked a lot! We saw the Meiji Shrine, the Sheuya crossing and were lucky enough to see the blossom at the Imperial Palace. We would highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful experience!
