am This private tour takes you to the most important temples, the most traditional neighbourhood and the most modern part of Tokyo - a perfect introduction to the largest megalopolis on the planet!
Private Tour of Tokyo
After picking you up from your hotel at the appointed time, we'll take the Yamanote line. We'll fly over the city to land in Harajuku, where we'll visit the Meiji Shinto Shrine, built to commemorate the late emperor in 1912. The shrine was devastated in 1945 by the Americans and rebuilt in 1946. The huge park where it stands is a place of serenity and calm.
Then we'll travel forward several centuries via public transport to arrive in Shinjuku, the most modern part of the city. Along the way you'll feel the pulse of the day-to-day life of the Japanese capital.
Once in Shinjuku we'll enter the Metropolitan Government Building to climb to the 45th floor and enjoy the incredible views from 240 metres above the ground. We'll see the Tokyo Tower, the Sky Tree Tower, the Meiji Temple forest and, if the weather is good, even Mount Fuji.
We'll also walk along Omoide Yokocho Alley, which will take us back to the 1950s, and we'll visit Kabukichō, Tokyo's red-light district famous for its nightlife.
The guided tour ends at Harajuku Station, very close to two of the most important areas of Tokyo: Omotesando and Shibuya.
Full day tour
If you want the guided tour to last the whole day, we'll stop for lunch at a traditional restaurant and, in addition to what is included in the 4-hour tour, we'll visit the Akihabara neighbourhood, famous for its technological and anime shops and the Asakusa district, which still preserves the atmosphere of old Tokyo.
