Early Morning Tour
(3-4 hours)
A 3-4 hour tour where you will visit some of Tokyo's most popular and iconic destinations while avoiding the crowds that normally accompany them!
Let's start the day bright and early at 7:00 AM with breakfast at Tsukiji Market. Onigiri and sushi are local favorites, but there are tastes to suit every palate! Enjoy a traditional Japanese breakfast or simply snack on some street food! We'll explore the outer market, where friendly merchants sell all kinds of products, from snacks to clothing. We'll learn about the history of the market and learn about Japanese culinary culture!
Next we'll head to Asakusa, one of Tokyo's oldest districts, and home to historic temples and thriving shopping areas alike. Have your fortune told, learn how to say a proper prayer, or simply enjoy the beautiful sights at Sensou-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple. Explore the Nakamise shopping district, located between the two gates of Sensou-ji and home to almost 100 unique shops selling everything from souvenirs to delicious snacks like melon bread and dango! Finally, take a riksha ride around the neighborhood and enjoy the colorful personalities and entertaining and informative stories of the riksha drivers!
From Asakusa, we head to Tokyo Tower and the surrounding area! We'll visit Shiba Park, just below Tokyo Tower and home to Zojoji Temple. Have a refreshing cup of coffee or tea just outside the temple, or at one of the many excellent cafes in the surrounding area. If you're feeling adventurous, climb the stairs to the Atago Shrine nearby! Or venture inside Tokyo Tower itself, where you'll encounter a variety of shops and restaurants, not to mention an incredible view of the city from the observatory!
My speciality is food, so I'm particularly excited about helping you find the best places to eat during your tour!
Are you only in Tokyo for a short time, maybe on a layover at Haneda airport? If so, I can pick you up at the airport by taxi and take you directly to Tsukiji for the tour!
