This tour aims to solve some of the logistical challenges of navigating Tokyo and help you get accustomed to the transportation system which is essential to efficiently get around the city. Explore the city the local way by utilizing the public transit with the expert who knows every corner of this extensive system. In the process, we will visit a few neighborhoods that are normally not on the tourist radar. Whether you only have a day and want to make the most of your limited stay or you have a full week and want to get a good start, let me organize your plans so you won't feel intimidated with this massive city which can be hard to navigate for the first-time visitor. After the tour, you will have a better grasp on the size and overall geography of the metropolis and knowing how to use the efficient public transportation system should boost the confidence to explore the city on your own!
During our pre-trip communication, I can answer any transportation related inquiries you may have, such as booking train seats or how to obtain a SUICA/PASMO, the convenient prepaid cards for riding transportation. The tour starts at your hotel or other designated location and here are my suggestions for going to lesser visited areas of Tokyo: *KAGURAZAKA - the quiet neighborhood that was once the geisha district *HARUKI MURAKAMI LIBRARY - inside the Waseda University campus, it is dedicated to one of the most famous novelist/writer in Japan *HIGO HOSOKAWA GARDEN - traditional Japanese garden with roots from the Edo period *Taking the city's only remaining tram system to ZOSHIGAYA, a quiet temple and a 700 year old ginkgo tree On a rainy day, I might alter the itinerary while maintaining the "hidden neighborhood" approach. We can finish anywhere within central Tokyo, but following this itinerary we will be in a convenient location from SHINJUKU or SHIBUYA, the major commercial areas of the city.
