## Overview

Tokyo is full of hustle, bustle, and sights to see! But the maze of the metro system can tire some and provide challenges for those with walking limitations. At Japan Guide Agency, we are happy to provide this customizable, private guided tour with a vehicle!

Visit the Thunder Gate of Asakusa with its giant paper lantern for the feel of old Tokyo. Enjoy the tranquility of Meiji Jingu Shrine, an oasis of centuries old trees that has found itself right next to the pop culture fashion hotspot of Harajuku. Hungry? Head to Tsukuishima to enjoy Tokyo’s original dish, monjayaki! Your licensed guide and driver will ensure you enjoy your personalized tour.

Choose 3 to 4 spots from ‘Tour Details’ to visit. Don't know where to go? Ask the guide to send you their recommendations. We hope to guide you soon!
