This tour is designed for the guests who come to Tokyo for the first time. Enjoying several "must" spots such as Asakusa (historical touristic place), Meiji-Jingu (Shinto shrine) and Tokyo Metropolital Government Office (with panoramic view of Tokyo city), it becomes possible for the visitors to utilize Tokyo's metro/raiway lines so that they can go wherever they would like to go by themselves afterward. Besides, it helps to understand overall geographic plan of Tokyo.
The guide meets the guests at hotel and take them to the spots by means of public transportation. The price of the tour includes tour guide's fee.
The other cost, such as transportation (estimated around 1,000 yen which varies according to location of the hotel) and lunch are not included. Recommended for good walkers!

- Transportation by metro and railway (around 1,000 yen) which varies according to the place of your hotel
- Lunch (around 1,000-3,000 yen) which also varies according to your choice. In Asakusa we have free time for shopping and lunch.
In short, it's safe to prepare at least 4,000 yen to satisfy your desire.
Plus, please note that Asakusa has hundreds of souvenir stalls.
Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan (3,776 m) and regarded as Japan's icon.
If the sky is clear and the air is transparent (more likely in Winter), you may see Mt. Fuji, but not always.
This was my first visit to Japan, and therefore very much needed a guided tour that covered some historical/cultural highlights, offered sufficient flexibility to accommodate my preferences, and did so effectively in English. Saori surpassed my expectations on all counts. I have no doubt that was in large part because, having lived in the U.S. and Europe for a substantial number of years, she has the perfect skill set to serve as a “bridge” between such differing cultures. I couldn’t recommend Saori more highly and enthusiastically. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Dear Gabriel, Thank you very much for the generous comment that made me happy. I hope you are enjoying our early Summer season with beautiful hydrangea flowers. I sent a message to your mobile phone number, so please check it, too. with best regards, Saori
She was great to work with. Very helpful with the language and how to get around. She was very kind.
Saori showed me how to use the train as well as helped me with directions! She took me to an authentic tempura restaurant and it was the best I've ever had. She was the nicest person and so grateful for her help !
We booked a day visit of Tokyo highlights with Saori for our group of 6 friends. Saori customized the tour to completely suit our wishes. She met us at our hotel lobby and took us under wings to navigate through the complex metro network. We had so much fun learning about Japanese culture and traditions. She’s very knowledgeable and having lived overseas for many years she could explain things in ways that would make sense to us. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family.
