West Tokyo One Day Tour

We spent the day with Makato, an experience tour guide. He took us to the four spots, Asakusa, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku. We saw the Meiji temple, visited shopping streets, went through department stores, ate sushi for lunch and did lots of walking. Makato did an excellent job explaining the history of the sites and any other cultural context. This six hour walking tour was incredible value for money and I highly recommend it to any first time Tokyo visitor.

This tour was an absolutely awesome way to get the lay of the land in a very large, spread out, and intimidating city such as Tokyo. We hit many of the hot spots including Asakusa, Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinjuku. Nao gave very clear and easy instructions on where to meet in the morning and we were delighted to be received not only by him but also 2 other guides who informed us that since we were the only reservations that morning we would essentially have a private tour. Nao left us in the expert care of his employees and they took excellent care of us. We could really tell the pride the Japanese have for their culture and heritage from these fine tour guides! We would not hesitate to book the East city tour with them next time we visit.
