Overview of your Tokyo tour

Why don't you make best use of your layover time between your flights at Haneda (Tokyo) airport? - We'd meet up at Haneda (not Narita) airport to start our tour to fully enjoy the essence of Tokyo's attractions. - One of the most popular itinerary is the perfect mixture of the traditional and modern parts of Tokyo as below. - First, we'd visit the world famous Tsukiji outer fish market, and move to Tokyo's oldest temple, Sensoji and its Nakamise old shopping alley, the most traditional part of Tokyo. - Then, we are dropping by either the Imperial Garden, part of ex-'Edo Castle' built in early 17th century, or the gorgeous Meiji shrine in a deep forest in the middle of Harajuku fashion district. - You can replace any of above places by either of Shibuya Crossing, the world famous pedestrian one, Omote Sando 'Tokyo Champs-Élysées' fashion avenue, the observatory (202m high) at Tokyo City Office, Akihabara electric town, or, Ginza high fashion street, etc.

I had a layover in Tokyo and was interested in checking out some local sights. I only had 6 hours for exploring, I wanted to see Tokyo as efficiently as possible. I found Toursbylocals. It was easy to book and my guide Hiro Saito contacted me within minutes of booking. We had a fantastic day in Tokyo. Hiro made it so easy and put together a great plan. We visited Kabuki, Tsukiji fish market, Harajuku, Shibuya, Imperial garden & Asakusa . Hiro was super knowledgeable - I highly recommend!
