Tokyo Highlights Tour

Tokyo Highlights Tour (8 hours)

 

Do you have little time but want to see and experience everything that Tokyo has to offer? Then this tour is perfect for you! We will go past all of Tokyo’s highlights throughout the day, and one of our guides will accompany you for a full eight hours. Check out our exciting private Tokyo Highlights tour itinerary!

 

What is in store for me?

 

We will start the day in Asakusa, where you can get a glimpse of what Tokyo must have looked like hundreds of years ago while we crisscross the busy shopping district with a lot of artisan shops. Then we will go to the iconic temple Sensoji; a ‘must-see’ if you go to Tokyo.

 

We continue our way along the Sumida river either by boat or by train to head for the Hamarikyu Gardens, where we will enjoy the precisely manicured gardens, and of course, drink a cup of authentic matcha tea while enjoying the majestic view over the pond.

 

From Shimbashi we head to Omotesando and Harajuku to be amazed by all the different clothing styles and the people that wear them. From the hustle and bustle, we then go back to the quiet of the Meiji Jingu shrine and its surrounding park. This shrine is completely different from the Sensoji temple, and if we are lucky we may run into a Shinto wedding!

 

Where does this end?

 

Well, that is up to you! We usually go to Shibuya and see the busiest intersections in the world. Once there, your guide will show you the best vantage point to make that unique picture, and we will also stop by to see Hachi the famous dog.

 

If you are more interested in a culinary experience we can go to Ginza and you can smell and taste the best that Tokyo has to offer in terms of food. We will go to the food court in one of the oldest department stores in Tokyo where you can see a cross-section of what Japanese people like to eat.

 

So whatever you desire for your unique Tokyo experience, we will try and make it come true!

CUSTOMERS’ VOICE

Jan Wagemaker

“The individual journey we made was well prepared by Tokiotours. The few problems we experienced during our 3.5 week trip were neatly resolved. Stefanie and Steven, the guides we experienced in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively, did their job in an exceptionally good way. A great memory.”

Peter Carroll

“My wife and I headed to Tokyo earlier this year and booked 3 first class tours with this company. All excellent, very informative and gave us a unique behind the curtain insight into a culture that was completely foreign to me. I would 100% recommend Tokiotours for anyone looking to get the most out of their time in Tokyo. Great fun!”

We look back on a very successful trip through Japan! Also thanks to your efforts it has been an unforgettable trip. Z. loved the morning in Harajuku with cotton candy, photo booth and VR experience. I liked the bike tour and especially the bamboo forest in Kamakura -> the bamboo forest in Kyoto was disappointing compared to that one… but Kyoto has very beautiful old places and Floris’ help for the reservation at Misono was fantastic.

I am a first-time visitor to Japan and travelled by myself so I booked one-on-one guiding tours. Had a wonderful time with all three guides from Tokiotours – Thom, Stefanie and Haruka. Thom is an encyclopedia on history, culture and religious practices and also a very nice guy, Stefanie with a gift of bringing Japanese history alive and making it very memorable and Haruka with her love of Japanese cuisine thanks to whom I enjoyed the very best and freshest sea-urchins on Tokyo Tsukiji market ever. Thank you to all of you!
