"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."

SENSO-JI FROM PORT

AMEYOKO QUICK ACCESS

MORNING TEMPLE VISIT
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is merely a suggestion. Your itinerary is fully bespoke.
