Inside the Imperial Palace and roaming around downtown
By taking part in a tour for the restricted area of the Imperial Palace, one can know how the imperial families live. As a viewpoint of guide, I can talk with you about the relation between the imperial families and japanese people. Then we will move to downtown area of Tokyo, Asakusa where I was born and had spent for 24 yrs. This town is always lovely and welcoming tourists.

Meeting Point
Tokyo Station
Imperial Palace
Weekdays are recommendable because the reservation would be occupied in several months ahead. Other than areas where we go around freely, this tour can be taken into restricted areas by Imperial Household Agency. Instead of that, I could take you to the areas for public.
Asakusa
As a native person of this town, the fascination that Asakusa has will be reached to you. Local cuisine, history, specific culture, people…
Ending Point
Asakusa Station
What to Expect
You can see inside the imperial palace where people normally can't roam.
With the public transportation like subway you can have the same daily experience like japanese people do.
When you turn a corner into a side street in Asakusa, you can find that local people have a drink in the evening at a stand.

“ Great Tours to Yokohama and Kamakura ”
Daisuke-san is a extremely nice person. Not only customizing the itinerary of our tour in Yokohama and Kamakura, but making recommendations for the rest of our visit and answering all our questions regarding what best to consider being Traveller in Japan. The tour in Yokohama was excellent and we could end up together to a nice Robata Restaurant with a familiar atmosphere. Great experience!! The Kamakura Tour was very interesting. Daisuke is a friendly guide and very knowledgeable. Answering our many questions and sharing stories, about his traveling experience to other countries and we were happy to share memories from travelling in Latin-Amerika. As well we could talk in Spanish. Excellent Guide !

Thank you for the message and I am really happy to have been with you two for two days. In every moment with you, unexpected happy weather, a lot of talk during trains, a surprising market in Yokohama and Robata! Those moments are unforgettable ones for me. I hope you could enjoy cherry blossoms in Hokkaido. I look forward to seeing you two again.

“ It's like having an outing with an old friend! ”
I enjoyed every single moment exploring and walking around Chichibu area with Daisuke. He made me feel so comfortable that we ended up sharing personal life stories and challenges unreservedly while having a great time visiting temples. He was a great traveling companion who paid attention to details and went extra miles to make sure my trip a memorable one. We had such a great time together despite the rains. I highly recommend Daisuke to anyone considering engaging a local guide in Japan, esp Tokyo and Chichibu area. He is the best guide I ever had! Daisuke, once again, thank you so much for making my Japan trip an unforgettable one!
Daisuke I.
You also gave me wonderful, unforgettable and joyful moments. I was really happy to be with you and I am so glad you enjoyed every activity and place on this tour. Hope we see again some day and let's have fun talk to open up again!

“ An amazing person and guide! ”
Daisuke was an amazing guide! He went above and beyond to ensure my comfort as well as being entertaining! His knowledge of Fuji-san and it’s surrounding made the tour fun as well as kept me occupied as my legs were getting tired on the long hike. Not only is he full of great facts, he is also a great person to talk to! I would say the highlight of my day with Daisuke was at the Chureito Pagoda, talking about movies and ghost stories while we waited for the clouds to part so we could see a better view of the mountain. It was a nice way to end the day before we headed back to the city. Although the weather was not in our favor to see the mountain, Daisuke made sure to show me other beautiful places and shrines that I wouldn’t see in the city. Daisuke was way more than a guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Fuji-San or the Tokyo area.

I appreciate you commenting my tour. I am really happy to have been with you whole the day to have shared a lot of things and am also glad that this would be one of your precious memories during your stay in Japan. Hope we see again!
