Thank you, Ana! The Tourist Japan Tokyo in a Day tour itinerary is carefully designed to include all the city's must-see highlights as well as some hidden gems you wouldn't find on your own. We believe that’s what makes our experiences so special.
If you're looking for a tour in Tokyo ask for Jiro
I just had a wonderful tour in Tokyo with Jiro. He was very knowledgeable about the area and culture, and he had a great personality with a multitude of experiences and stories to share. He also spoke English well and was very patient which was helpful as a visitor with a cursory knowledge of the Japanese language and area. I would definitely choose Tourist Japan again if all their guides are just as good.

Reiko, Awesome Fun Guide
Our Tourist Japan Guide Reiko, lead our group for Best of Tokyo. She was awesome. She made our group feel welcomed. Reiko was funny, talkative and calmly handled a slight nervous situation with a person in our group who had an unexpected situation happen. Made the group feel like a family. Highly recommended Reiko again. She needs to lead more tours. I gave five stars or more if I could have.

Enjoyed Geisha tour
We met our friendly guide, Yukari for an interesting tour of the Geisha district in Kyoto. She was very knowledgable and we could tell she enjoyed explaining the history of the Geisha. We walked up and down many streets and stopped at a variety of buildings that told the life of a Geisha. We were very pleased with Yukari and the tour.

Best Day Ever
We had the absolute best time on our 'Best of Tokyo' tour with Aki today! He is an incredible guide—so knowledgeable about Tokyo's history but also full of super helpful tips for getting around the city. He was even thoughtful enough to surprise us with chocolates, which was such a sweet touch. Between the amazing lunch and Aki’s hospitality, it was a truly special day. 10/10, thanks so much!

We had a great experience with our tour guide Mai
We had a great experience with our tour guide Mai. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. She spent much time with us in the Tsukiji market- providing a delicious tasting experience. She gave us a good history of the temples and shrines. I would highly recommend Mai to anyone visiting Tokyo. Thank you Mai.

Day tour in Tokyo
We had a wonderful guide, Jiro, who helped us before the start of the tour to reserve seats on our train for the following day which we could not have done without him. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to accommodate us. The group was just 4 of us (myself and my husband, aged 60, and two young women in their 20s). Jiro was so engaging and friendly and we all got on like old friends. He was very knowledgeable about the history and traditions of Japan and we learned a lot. Many thanks Jiro!
