You are in for a local experience - a day to explore the diversity of Tokyo, from high tech to tradition, the contrast of the futuristic aspect to old school life all on this private car service with your private licensed guide.

We had a wonderful day with Takashi as our guide. We visited Arakura Sengen Park and Shrine, 4th Station, Wind and Ice Caves, Mt Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and Oishi Park. We were very lucky and got to see Mt. Fuji all day. Takashi was very knowledgeable about all sites and the history of Japan and we would highly recommend this tour.

 Hotel pick up Dedicated driver picks up at the door, and the driver will pick up the guest at the Kyoto hotel where they stayed according to the agreed time to start the day's journey; Pick-up area: Inside Tokyo  The Imperial Palace Nijubashi (1 hour tour) It's hard to imagine that the imperial residence with white walls and black tiles is located near Tokyo Station, which has a lot of money. This emperor's residence has retained the charm of the Edo era during the changes of Japan's times, walking around the moat, and the walls of the Edo Castle are still visible. . In the East Garden, the lush greenery, the carved courtyard, and the huge general's house make people walk into Tokyo's long memories.  Sensoji Temple (1 hour tour) The huge thunder gate with huge red lanterns and straw shoes is one of the symbols of Asakusa and Japan. Sensoji Temple is an ancient temple with a long history and strong incense in Tokyo. You can sign for prayers with the bustling crowd, and it will be even more lively if you catch the temple fair. [Nakamise Shopping Street] There are nearly a hundred shops on both sides of the slab road, which is only 250 meters long. Such as Kyoto's ancient tempura shop "Thunder Gate Sanding", "Kuritaya" master hand-made Japanese paper, "Asakusa Plum Garden" old-style Japanese desserts, etc., are all good choices for buying handmade letters.  Sumida River Cruise (40 minutes tour) Take a cruise on the Sumida River to enjoy the bustling modern city and other skyscrapers within a short voyage. As the cruise ship shuttles more than 20 quirky bridges of various shapes, it also seems to see the rich and rich feeling of Tokyo. * The ship type is not selectable, and it is arranged by the operator  Odaiba Seaside Park (1 hour tour) Colorful City is a large-scale integrated commercial facility located in Odaiba. The ferris wheel, the fully transparent cabin, the landmark of the Taiwan venue, is thrilling and exciting. It is also one of the best angles to view the panorama of Tokyo. You can enjoy the beauty of Tokyo within 16 minutes. A theme park-type shopping center that reproduces medieval European streets, Venus Castle, ZeppTokyo, a large-scale live performance facility in Japan, and MEGA WEB, a car-themed experience-type entertainment facility, are all here. Enjoy the sights all day.  Tokyo Tower (1 hour tour) Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, just like the Oriental Pearl in Shanghai, is an eye-catching landmark of the whole city. The beautiful and tall Tokyo Tower looks a little bit like the Eiffel Tower, even slightly higher than it. The red and white towers frequently appear in film, television, and literary works about Tokyo. Foreign travelers and even Japanese tourists are willing to use it as a testimony of their trip to Tokyo. From the observation deck, you can see 360-degree panoramic views of Tokyo, and even Mount Fuji in the distance.  Delivery to hotel After the tour is over, the guide will deliver it according to the Kyoto hotel you stayed in and assist you to end the service after checking in. For delivery to hotels outside Tokyo, please contact customer service for extra area charges.

My husband and 2 sons (ages 11 and 13) loved our virtual tour of Tokyo. Nino was a fantastic guide and filled the hour with historical, cultural and fun facts! She was able to keep all of us at all ages engaged. It was a welcome diversion for this time of no-travel and very few experiences in the world because of the pandemic. We all can't wait to book our trip when the time allows!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

Such a warm welcoming tour coming to Tokyo. Goto-san made sure we had a great time adapting to our search in trying the best local Japanese sake found in spots we never could have found. So many hidden treasures in Japan... and the prices were in cheap!! We didn't know what to expect but at the end of the night we were drinking without a worry and he made sure we got back safe way after our tour was finished.

We had excellent experience with Yoki on November 30th 2019 when we went to Nikko. First thing - Yoki is very organized. All trip was well planned and executed. He scheduled all public transport we were supposed to use and kept us on track. The selection of the lunch place he picked (Marple restaurant) was perfect. Food was delicious and the whole place was charming. Overall Nikko worth the entire day. So many things to see - breathtaking views, mountains, waterfall, ride on the rope way, Toshogu shrine (just stunning beauty), etc. It was our last day of Japan so i really enjoyed a good mix of beautiful nature scenes and historical places. Very recommended!
