Testimonials

What Our Guests Say

"I'd been to Tokyo many times before and still had never seen or heard of most everything he included in our tour. We liked it so much, we immediately booked a second day!"

Wanderer67335496230

"It felt like we were touring with a friend who lives in Japan. Rina adapted the tour for our diverse group — kids from 7 to their 20s. Some of our best memories were things she improvised."

Marc

"My family wanted anime stuff and everything else jam packed into the day. Satoshi did not disappoint. My family is still raving about this tour days later!"

Racquel

"Felt like we'd known him for years. Wanted an authentic lunch with no Ramen for a change — a 3rd floor Hot Pot Restaurant we never would have found."

Sample Day

Your Journey

Morning (Post-Clearance)

Meet at Terminal or Hotel Near Port

Your guide meets you after port clearance at your terminal (Odaiba, Yokohama Osanbashi) or nearby hotel. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time and work backward—building 90-minute return buffer before you need to be back.

  • From Odaiba: 20-30 minutes to central Tokyo via Yurikamome line
  • From Yokohama: 45-60 minutes to central Tokyo via train
  • Itinerary adjusts based on your actual terminal location
Late Morning

Tsukiji Market or Asakusa Cultural Start

Option A (from Odaiba): Start at Tsukiji's outer market—vendors grilling seafood, tamagoyaki on sticks, fresh sushi counters. Option B (from Yokohama or tighter schedules): Start at Asakusa's Senso-ji Temple—incense smoke, fortune drawing, Nakamise shopping street.

  • Tsukiji vendors open early; arrive by 9:30-10am for best selection
  • Senso-ji quieter before 11am weekday crowds arrive
Midday

Ueno Park & Ameyoko Market

Walk Ueno's shaded paths and lotus ponds—strategic breather before diving into Ameyoko's narrow market alleys. Vendors hawk dried fish, sneakers, and street snacks. Climb stairs to hidden Marishiten Temple above the chaos.

  • 30-minute park walk resets energy for afternoon
  • Ameyoko's standing yakitori counters for quick lunch option
Early Afternoon

Asakusa Temple District (if not done earlier)

Senso-ji's main hall, incense altar rituals, paper fortune drawing. Wander Nakamise's vendor corridor for souvenirs—handmade sweets, folding fans, traditional crafts. Explore Ura Asakusa's backstreets if time allows.

  • Last souvenir stop before heading back to port
  • Guide monitors time to ensure return buffer holds
Mid-Afternoon (Return Transit)

Return to Terminal with Buffer Intact

Depart Tokyo 90 minutes before your all-aboard time. Train back to Odaiba (20-30 min) or Yokohama (50-60 min). You arrive at the terminal early—no rushing, no stress, no watching the clock during your day.

  • Typical all-aboard: 5pm → Depart Tokyo by 3pm
  • You're back by 3:30-4pm with time to spare

This is merely a suggestion. Your itinerary is fully bespoke.
