Chie was very nice and flexible with the schedule. She asked what we wanted to see and when we said flowers she found a special limited time flower exhibit that we wouldn’t have known about. She explained things well and answered all our questions.

Your Tokyo tour itinerary

Meet at your hotel This is your day. I would recommend we see the Shinto shrine (Meiji Jingu) in Harajyuku and the most important Buddhist temple (Sensoji temple) in Asakusa. You can choose 3 or 4 places, 1. Asakusa : the most colorful and nostalgic downtown (where Sensoji is located) 2. Traditional Japanese garden : Hama-rikyu gardens or Rikugien (you can try Japanese tea at the both) or Koishikawa garden 3. Akihabara : shopping district for electronics store & subculture 4. Imperial palace - you cannot see the palace itself 5. Tsukiji market 6. Ginza : shopping area like 5th avenue 7. Harajuku : Meiji jingu shrine and fashion street (Takeshita street ) for young girls 8. Shibuya : famous intersection like Times square 9. other places you would like to go Lunch at a wide variety of restaurants return to your hotel
