    Atsuto gave a great tour of varied sites through Tokyo. It was a well structured tour with plenty of time to ask questions and explore. Atsuto’s English was great and he’s very personable. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Highly recommend

  • 5Tour was suggested and...

    Tour was suggested and then we adjusted on the fly. Which worked out great for us. Visited many places and traveled throughout Tokyo via the rail system, which was exciting. Our Tour guide FK was excellent, he was knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend time with. We visited the fish market and enjoyed some fresh Sushi. We went to Old Town, we participated in rituals at the Buddhist temple. Great Day

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
