My 'Best of Tokyo' tours have a list of popular spots in Tokyo, so choose some of them according to your interest. If you have another place in your mind, feel free to let me know.

You can use your time for seeing each spot, taking pictures, learning culture and history, eating Japanese food & snacks, and shopping. . . Enjoy your tour at your own pace. I've lived in Tokyo more than 30 years. I like visiting art-museums and historic places. I also love walking around fashionable and trendy areas.

We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was thoughtful, patient, knowledgable, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were learning and having fun. If you're traveling to this amazing city, I cannot think of a better way to see it.

Otani-san was a fabulous guide. She was kind and knowledgeable. Spending the day with her was delightful and a highlight of our Tokyo trip. She patiently showed us how to use the subway, explained cultural expectations, and oriented us beautifully in Tokyo. Thank you Otani-san.

I was able to squeeze in a 5 hr tour in Tokyo with Kaoru O while on a business trip with my husband. I give Kaoru a 5 star review. She was flexible with my schedule, spoke incredible English and was so knowledgeable on the history and culture of the Japanese people. We were able to see so many important sights during our time together. It was a truly lovely day and I would highly recommend touring Tokyo with Kaoru O! Mindy Gershman

This tour was definitely worth the price. It would have been difficult to do a self-tour of the temple and shrine we visited and really understand what we were looking at. We also visited a smaller garden that was just the right size to get the flavor of Japanese gardens in general. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and showed us a wonderful, secret viewing spot for both the Skytree and the temple. She was also prompt and courteous.

Kaoru was a great and very knowledgeable guide. She even gave me a few suggestions on other places to visit after ending the tour. Overall, she gave me the kind of tour I wanted. Thank you!

Kaoru was very professional and friendly. She gave us lots of information about the places we went and gave us ideas for other places to visit on our own. Her English is excellent. She explained the subway system so we felt more confident using it on our own. We were able to design our day according to our interests.
