With so much to see in Tokyo, it can be difficult for first-time visitors to know where to begin. Spending the day with Taka allows for a custom-built sightseeing itinerary. This in-depth walking tour considers your interests, which may include Asakusa, Tsukiji food market, the Imperial Palace, Shibuya Crossing, and more.

This half-day tour is an ideal choice for time-tight travelers visiting Tokyo. Avoid the hassle of navigating by having a private guide to show you around the city.

This is the perfect customizable tour to welcome you to Tokyo. Taka was wonderful. She gave us a great tour of the highlights in Tokyo. We had a tasty lunch and several opportunities for snacks in the markets. Taka gave us thorough explanations for the purpose of the shrines and allowed us to receive blessings and make "wishes" appropriately. We couldn't have asked for a better way to introduce to Tokyo on our first full day.
