Our guide can take you to marvel at the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the famous pedestrian intersection in Shibuya, Tokyo, located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit, where vehicles stop in all directions to let pedestrians flood the entire area.
These observatories offer visitors a chance to learn more about Tokyo while taking in incredible views. As you gaze over the city, we invite you to reflect on the endless possibilities for Tokyo’s future.
Join us to explore the iconic Tokyo Tower, home to observation decks, museums, restaurants, and shops in the four-story FootTown below. Free to visit - extra ticket required to go up the tower!
Discover the magnificent Imperial Palace, the primary residence of the Emperor of Japan. Nestled in Tokyo's Chiyoda ward, this sprawling park-like area offers a serene escape in the heart of the city.
Tsukiji Outer Market is a bustling district near the former Tsukiji Wholesale Market, offering fresh seafood, produce, and food-related goods like knives, along with numerous shops and restaurants.
Let us show you The Imperial Palace East Gardens (Kōkyo Higashi Gyoen) are part of the inner palace grounds and open to the public. Once the site of Edo Castle's main and secondary defense circles, the gardens retain moats, walls, gates, and guardhouses, though the main buildings no longer remain.

Had a half day tour with Christian as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, met us at our hotel and took us to some places that we would otherwise not have thought of visiting. Overall, a great morning and would recommend this trip to others
We were 4 older ladies in a city very unfamiliar to us. This was great way to see Shinjuki at night - guided by a terrific guide. Shinjuki was very crowded but very colourful and exciting. Our guide watch that we ladies were able to keep up with the other tourist and always was informative about each stop we made. Very highly recommend this tour.
We had Jibril as our guide who was excellent. He was knowledgeable about areas and was able to take us off the beaten track. Furthermore, he also gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay in Toyko.
We had a superb morning in the company of Jibril who took us around the less well trodden parts of Tokyo. He taught us so much about Japanese history, religion, culture and way of life - much more than any guide book. “Above and beyond” is definitely the description. Tips were given on how to travel, what to see, where to eat and with such kindness. To be shown Tokyo by a local was such a gift. I would definitely recommend this as being the best way to begin your trip, not only to Tokyo but to Japan.
Very enjoyable & informative. Leo was very personable & accommodating.
We were lucky enough to have Andy as our guide. Andy was brilliant - picked us up at our hotel on time and took us to some really fabulous places in Tokyo. I was on the tour with my 82 year-old Mum and Andy was so considerate of her age constantly making sure she was ok with the pace, steps etc Andy went above and beyond to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We spent plenty of time in the imperial palace Gardens which was a real highlight for Mum and I. Andy took care of everything and we got to experience a tour at our own pace. We couldn’t recommend Andy or this tour any higher.
Andy was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We saw a lot of things we would have missed if we did it on our own. Lots of gardens and parks which makes a great contrast in a big city. It was raining on the day of our tour and Andy was able to defer the start of the tour for a few hours which made all the difference in our experience. Not sure that’s always possible but worked out well for us.
We did a full day tour & our guide was excellent very knowledgeable
We will have this tour on April 6th but I would like to write about the excellent customer service we received before hand. I wanted to get more information about our guide and the owner himself Gabriel called and reassured me that we will be in good hands in Tokyo. That was very nice and we truly appreciate it! PS: if you booked the tour through Get Your Guide as we did or any other platform and you need more information just go on Jewel website get the phone number and contact them through What’s App and they will contact you!
Thank you SO much - Please come again!!
In the run-up to the tour, we coordinated it well. We met on time and all the points and additional points were started. Irene was a great guide who delighted us.
