Itinerary

Meiji Jingu Shrine

Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is a shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park make up a large forested area within the densely built-up city. The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths that are great for a relaxing stroll. The shrine was completed and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920, eight years after the passing of the emperor and six years after the passing of the empress. The shrine was destroyed during the Second World War but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

40 minutes
Takeshita Street

Harajuku (原宿) refers to the area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station, which is between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights. The focal point of Harajuku's teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, which are lined by many trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothes stores, crepe stands and fast food outlets geared towards the fashion and trend-conscious teens.

20 minutes
Shibuya Sky

A 360° open-air observation deck located on the roof of the Shibuya Scramble Square skyscraper.

40 minutes
Shibuya Crossing

The only place where 7 crossroads come together and the lights all turn red at the same time. Thousands of pedestrians then all cross at the same time. Just amazing.

10 minutes
Tokyo Tower

Built-in 1958, Tokyo Tower serves as a symbol of Tokyo’s rebirth after World War II. The towering structure stands 333 meters tall, becoming a ubiquitous photo spot for tourists. Two observation decks provide extensive views across the city and a four-story complex on the ground floor offers shopping, food, and entertainment. Unfortunately, when we visited, due to Covid, it was closed to visit the observation decks. Still, we were very impressed, especially with its lights at night. It is right next to Zozogi temple and easily accessible from Hamamatsucho or Daimon Stations or Onarimon or Akabenebashi Stations

40 minutes
Zōjō-ji

This well-known temple stands next to Tokyo Tower, and its grounds contain the mausoleum of the Tokugawa family.

20 minutes
Tsukiji Fish Market

Japan is known for its fresh seafood, and this small-group tour explores the outer Tsukiji Fish Market, where Tokyo's top chefs shop for high-quality fish. Your guide leads you through the sprawling, 80-year-old market to visit fishmongers and food vendors. Sample a range of sushi, Japanese-style omelets, fried fish cakes, sake, and Japanese tea in this in-depth experience of the legendary market.

1 hour
Imperial Palace

The current palace was constructed in the same spot where Edo Castle used to stand. Most of the palace grounds are not open to the public except for the East Gardens, which are accessible on select days.

40 minutes
Tokyo Skytree

The Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) is a television broadcasting tower and landmark of Tokyo. It is the centerpiece of the Tokyo Skytree Town in the Sumida City Ward, not far away from Asakusa. With a height of 634 meters (634 can be read as "Musashi", a historic name of the Tokyo Region), it is the tallest structure in Japan and the second tallest in the world at the time of its completion. A large shopping complex with an aquarium is located at its base.

40 minutes
Asakusa

This popular Tokyo neighborhood is home to many shops and restaurants as well as the famed Senso-ji Temple.

10 minutes
Senso-ji Temple

Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temples. The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's oldest temple.

30 minutes
Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dogugai)

The stores in this neighborhood sell kitchen equipment and paper supplies to the city's restaurants. Of note are the specialty plastic food items, which are placed in restaurant windows to show passersby what goodies are being served inside.

10 minutes

An Amazing Day with Hiro-san!!!!

Published on Nov, 2024

Hiro-san is an incredibly kind and insightful tour guide! He was completely willing to adapt to the family’s interests and energy level during the course of the day. We learned so many great things about Tokyo both historic and modern on our day with Hiro-san!

Tokyo tour with Hiro Mizoguchi

Published on Nov, 2024

Hiro gave us a wonderful tour of some of Tokyo’s highlights! As well as being a delightful person and fun to be with he was highly knowledgeable, giving great insights into the places we visited and the Japanese way of life in general. We participated in a lot of fun and fascinating things we wouldn’t have known about if we’d been visiting on our own, particularly our spectacularly delicious lunch! In response to our sushi request, Hiro made a quick phone call to his favourite sushi restaurant near the fish markets, which doesn’t ordinarily take bookings. In no time we were seated opposite our master sushi chef watching him whip up the most scrumptious and most varied sushi we’ve ever had. What a treat! Hiro tailored our tour to suit us, whipping in and out of the subways with ease. We highly recommend him for a perfect introduction to Tokyo!

absolutely fantastic

Published on Nov, 2024

We came to japan for our honeymoon and was searching for a tour for the first part of our time there. We are glad we booked it and Hiro was great, very knowledgeable and genuinely interesting. Hiro was a really nice person and a great host. If you are on the fence, don't be, get it booked with Hiro you will not be disappointed. Fantastic trip and fantastic tour and guide

Amazing Tour

We had an amazing day with Hiro. He showed us some great sites, a wonderful place to get sushi for lunch, and a great places to buy souvenirs. We enjoyed taking the trains and learning about the subway system.

A fabulous and fascinating day with Hiro

Published on Oct, 2024

Hiro is an amazing tour guide. His urban tour was wonderful. We would enthusiastically recommend that anyone going to Tokyo take his tour. He is so knowledgeable, professional and timely. He took us to the best lunch we had during our visit.
