Private Tour of Tokyo

Private Tour of Tokyo

Having picked you up from the hotel where you're staying, we'll make our way to Asakusa, the Tokyo neighbourhood that retains most of its traditional flavour: totally unmissable to any visitor to the city. And here we'll see the Sensoji temple: the oldest and most important in Tokyo.

Here we'll pass thorough Nakamise street, one of the oldest shopping streets in the city, full of little shops packed with artisanal wares.

Then we'll jump on public transport, and in doing so jump ahead by several centuries, arriving at Shinjuku, the most modern section of the city. Here you can feel the beating heart of modern Tokyo, taking the pulse of its day to day life. 

The tour takes in the Metropolitan Government Building, to climb up to the 45th floor, enjoying incredible views from 240 metres high. From here you can see the Tokyo Tower, the Sky Tree Tower, the Meji Temple forest and, if the weather is good, even Mount Fuji.

Taking the Yamanote line we'll fly over the city, landing in Harajuku, where we'll visit the Shinto Meiji Temple, built to commemorate the emperor upon his death in 1912. The temple was almost entirely destroyed by American forces in 1945, and reconstructed in 1946, and the enormous park surrounding it is these days an oasis of calm and quiet.

The guided tour ends in the Harajuku station, near to two of the most important areas of Tokyo, Omotesando and Shibuya.

Full Day Tour

If you would like to extend your private tour of Tokyo over the whole day, we'll stop to eat in a traditional restaurant, spending the afternoon visiting the neighbourhoods of Akihabara (the most tech-focused and 'geek-friendly' part of the city) or Odaiba (Tokyo's most modern neighbourhood, built on an artificial island and the location of the 2020 Olympic Games).

If you want to take advantage of this option, select the 9 am time slot and the 8-hour duration. The 1 pm start cannot be combined with the 8-hour tour.
