Unfortunately it was a bit rainy but that wasn’t enough to hinder our tour which took in Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Palace, Tsukiji Fish Market, Asakusa, famous Tokyo tourist sites. A friendly group of five parents and their children from Cincinnati joined my tour after spending three days at Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, enjoying the holiday resort.

The children, who are university students and high school students, had just started their summer vacation and were enjoying the best of their youth.All the sushi restaurants in Tsukiji Fish Market were crowded, so we had lunch at a sushi restaurant outside. Everyone in the family, including the vegetarian mother, was able to enjoy sushi according to their preferences.

Review from the guest posted to Tours by Locals

Our tour with Atsu exceeded our expectations and was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! He met us at our hotel in Tokyo and discussed what we would be seeing that day. Our group consisted of myself, my husband, and 3 children (ages 21, 18 & 15). While it was a rainy day, we didn’t let it stop us from seeing everything. We especially loved the sushi restaurant he took us to. We have very little experience with Japanese cuisine and would have been intimidated to try this on our own. Everyone was able to try new things and practice our chopsticks skills! Atsu provided so much information on the sites we visited as well as answering all our questions about Japanese culture. He took photos of our family and helped create great memories for us.
