It is also famous with Japanese foodies for a good quality at reasonable prices. I'm going to take you to popular bars and restaurants for ONLY LOCALS (NO TOURISTS!!) where the staff speaks only Japanese. I will order signature dishes, and we will discuss the food and drink (and you can pepper me with questions). We will visit 4 restaurants/taverns in total, where you will sample sashimi, grilled fish and skewered meat, etc. You will also have the opportunity to try UNIQUE Japanese alcoholic drinks (5 or more different type of drinks) and you'll be able to experience what Japanese taverns are like.

【New release at a special price】 Welcome to Tokyo, Japan! You may know Tsukiji Fish market is one of the most popular tourist spots in Tokyo. At Tsukiji fish market, about 500 street food stalls are waiting for you. But the problem is, many of them serve very similar items! Many food stalls of Oyster, cooked skewered Tuna, Japanese rolled omelet, Mochi stuffed with strawberry. Some of them are wonderful honestly, but some are not so good, not only in quality, but also in quantity, price, and waiting time! And plus, to tell the truth, it's extremely crowded in this area already, then it's difficult to find nice shops. How shall the tourists find the best ones, and hidden ones in Tsukiji? We have explored, tried(tasted) and compared them from completely “neutral” viewpoint, and selected the best street food stalls! And plus, if you have chance to come to Tokyo Tsukiji fish market all the way from your country, we hope that you don’t leave without visiting nice tourist spots around the market. Tsukiji is located the “center zone” of Tokyo city, and some nice tourist spots are near to the market. As the professional tour guides, we would like to take you there. Through this experience, not only eating delicious foods nor visiting tourist spots, but you may learn our society, custom, culture, history, beauty, lifestyle, etiquette, table manner, background, and way of thinking.

Welcome to a unique and personalized trip of Tokyo, where you'll not only get to experience the best sights of the city but also learn and practice Japanese with a professional Japanese teacher.

NO Japanese residents, only for tourists. If you are a male who will want to join the tour, I need to ask you some questions about your purpose in yourself.

Asakusa is pretty straightforward. All you need is a good guidebook. But Ueno is different. Without a proper guide, you will only scratch the surface and miss many stuff. I use Saigo Takamori, the real model for the movie "The Last Samurai," to help you understand the true Ueno. Thus we start the tour from the statue of Saigo. I'll explain the major battle he fought in Ueno 150 years ago to destroy the old regime of Tokugawa Shogun. Then by introducing the Buddhist monk Tenkai, I'll explain why the battle was took place in Ueno. There used to be over 30 temples and shrines in Ueno. It was a huge spiritual center for Tokugawa government. We'll also visit The Shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu who was the final winner of the more than a hundred year long real game of thrones and the founder of Tokugawa Shogunate. I'll offer you not information you can get easily from a guidebook but a perspective you can only get from the expert who studied the subjects for years. Other things to note: It's a walking tour. Please wear comfortable shoes.

Let's explore the food wonderland of Tsukiji Outer Market and enjoy sampling some delicious food. I will give you a brief introduction to the outer market, which is like a labyrinth. There are about 400 shops, so it's difficult to understand what is happening and to find the good ones by yourself. We will also explore the backstreets of the outer market, and I will make recommendations and introduce you to my friends. After this experience, you may continue enjoying Tsukiji Outer market by yourself—shopping, eating, and more. Please be advised that many local spots only accept cash. [REMARKS] Tsukiji inner market (Wholesale market) was closed on 6th Oct. 2018. But Tsukiji outer market is not moved. Our tour is exploring Tsukiji outer market so we could continue this tour.

Do not forget, I am an anime geek and actress, so this will be an entertaining experience. You will not be disappointed. Other things to note Akihabara is centrally located.
