"Tsukiji Market where one can encounter all kinds of Japanese traditional foods. A mixture of wholesale and retail shops along with numerous restaurants line the streets and new culinary trends are born here. Let's try fresh seafood and traditional Japanese food. These are ideal for breakfast and lunch."
Sensoji Temple is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Japan. There are some historical buildings such as the five-story pagoda and the Hozo-mon Gate（Treasure-House Gate） inside the temple grounds.
Tokyo Sky Tree is the world's tallest tower with a height of 634 m certified by Guinness World Records.There are observation tables at 340 meters above the ground and 450 meters above the ground.There is a cafe on the observation deck. You can enjoy the scenery while drinking tea at the cafe. On sunny days you can see Mt. Fuji.
Ueno Zoo is a Tokyo Metropolitan Zoo. It was opened as the first zoo in Japan in 1882. Currently, about 400 species of animals, including rare animals such as Sumatra tiger, are bred. The number of admissions is the best in Japan. There are many exhibits on the site, including the Giant Panda Building and Japanese wild birds and animals such as sika deer and Japanese serow deer, the Japanese animal section, and the forest where the gorilla tigers live.
There are about 500,000 users of scrambled intersections per day. And the number of people who come and go with one green light reaches 3,000. It is a tourist attraction that many foreign tourists pay attention to when it is interesting that a lot of people walk at the same time without getting hit by each other at the same time.
The Meiji Jingu Shrine, which was built in 1920, enshrines the Emperor Meiji and the Empress.Many Japanese worshipers and foreign tourists visit this shrine throughout the year. Because it is called a power spot, your fortune may rise. You may see a couple who wears a wedding dress in Japanese clothes.
A radio tower with a height of 333m, constructed in 1958. There is a view cafe and Tower jingu Shrine. There are two types of lights-up: Landmark Light, which emits light toward Tokyo Tower, and Diamond Veil, which emits light outward from Tokyo Tower. Landmark lights are white in summer and orange in winter.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a garden representing the Meiji period that combines a well-formed garden, a landscaped garden and a Japanese garden. It was built in 1906 as an imperial garden. The garden is surrounded by over 10,000 trees and offers seasonal scenery and landscapes. There are several historic buildings in this garden. You can learn about the imperial history from these buildings.
It is a cafe where you can interact with owls. Many people will smile when you interact with owls with adorable charms. When you are depressed, when you are tired, it will heal you. This owl cafe uses classical music and chandelier lighting to create healing effects in order to provide customers with extraordinary healing.
It is a cafe where you can interact with hedgehogs. This cafe is not open for lunch or dinner but serves only drinks. There are hedgehogs that want to play with you and those that sleep on your hands. They are very cute.
You will be able to enjoy your meal while playing, singing and dancing with the maids. Maid clerks will draw lovely pictures with ketchup and chocolate on your omelet and cafe latte.
Hama Rikyu Gardens was opened to the public April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 m² landscaped garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, the park itself surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shōgun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.
The Imperial Palace is in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. In the premises, there are houses of the Emperor and Empress, the palace, the Imperial Household Agency office and so on. In the Tokugawa period, it was used as Edo castle. Nijyubashi bridge is also one of the best tourist attractions. Even though the Imperial Palace is in the city, it is a place full of nature. The skyscraper streets around will make the nature stand out more.

Our tour guide Yoki did a masterful job of showing us the highlights of Tokyo including the Imperial Palace, the Skytree, and the Outer Market. He has an inept knowledge of Japanese history and made the tour very interesting. He was also aware that 2 if the group were a bit slow and he made sure we were moving at a comfortable pace. Excellent and friendly guide.
Hi Don, Chris and Carol, Thank you so much for your kind notes. I am glad your group enjoyed the tour. I myself really enjoyed the guiding with wonderful guests. Thank you again. Best regards, Yoki
Wife and I had this tour with our host, Nobuo Kono, a Japanese native who has long resided in the Tokyo area after growing up near Mt. Fuji. The ability to customize where we wanted to go, adjusted with Kono's suggestions, made for a very good first day in Tokyo. He went at our pace and made everything easy since we didn't have to worry about navigating the subway trains, figuring out what to order for sushi lunch (very affordable option at the fish market), etc. besides providing the usual insights into history and cultural background along the way. If we had wanted to move faster - even though Kono was 20-30 years older than us, he would have easily obliged!
Hackerc777-san, Thank you for your review comments. I am happy that you enjoyed the tour and Japan. You have a lot of good lucks during the tour, so enjoy the rest of staying in Japan. You encourage me to be a good and interesting guide. Best regards, Kono.
Our tour group consisted of 4 adult family members. It was our first full day in Tokyo so our guide was good for helping us navigate the subway and getting to the places we wanted to visit. Our guide, Yoki, was great in choosing our lunch venue - loved it! He was willing to take photos however, one of the reasons we wanted a tour guide was to give us an understanding of Tokyo including history and current interesting facts about Tokyo or maybe even Japan. Yoki's English language skills were great but he was too quiet and provided limited facts and history about the places we visited and in general as well. That is not what we were expecting from a tour guide.
