The Highlights of Tokyo - Full Day Private Tour

This tour is perfect for first time visitors who would like to know the basics of Japanese culture & history and get to experience our public transportation system, like a true local. We will visit some of the city's main spots, covering both the east & west sides of Tokyo. In the former, you'll be able to try fresh seafood at Tsukiji fish market (the largest in the world!) and learn of Japanese buddhism at Sensoji temple. On the west part of the city, we'll visit its most important shrine (Meiji jingu) and walk across some of Tokyo's most popular streets (Takeshita street, Omotesando street, and the Shibuya crossing). As a Certified Tour Conductor, I will make sure you return home after truly getting to know what the real Tokyo looks and feels like.
