Highlights
  • Tsukiji Fish Market - Tsukiji Outer Market is Japan’s “Food Town,” where one can encounter all kinds of traditional Japanese foods. A mixture of wholesale and retail shops, along with numerous restaurants, line the streets, and new culinary trends.

  • Senso-ji Temple - Along with being mostly visited temple of Japan with over 20 million of visitors, this ancient 1400 years old buddhist temple is an iconic symbol of Tokyo.

  • Imperial Palace - The Imperial Palace has served as the residential place of the successive Emperors since 1868. It contains the Imperial Residence and the Imperial Palace Complex.

  • Tokyo Skytree - Tokyo Skytree is the highest freestanding tower in the world with 634 meters height. Offering you spectacular views out over Tokyo, there are two enclosed decks located at heights of 350 and 450 meters respectively, making them the highest observation decks in Japan.

  • Tokyo Tower - A symbol of post war recovery in the center of the city. Built in 1958, and standing 333 meters tall, Tokyo Tower serves as a symbol of Tokyo’s rebirth after World War II. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest tower in the world, surpassing even its inspiration, the Eiffel Tower.

  • Ginza - Ginza is a fancy, upmarket shopping district and it won’t let you forget it. You’re far more likely to find internationally-recognized luxury brand clothes and accessories here than a charming Mom-and-Pop shop or hip independent coffee store. Originally, it was part of the downtown area of Edo (olden days Tokyo), and still has a bit of that old school charm. But the area was always somewhat posh. It was named after a silver mint that used to be there after all.

  • Takeshita Street - The 350-meter Takeshita-dori Street is the hub for Japanese pop culture and also known for wacky, youth-driven shops selling colorful and crazy clothes and accessories. It’s also a paradise for sweets-lovers - don’t miss the fluffy, sugary crepes. There are also several boutiques that specialize in edgy grunge and goth fashion.

  • Meiji Jingu Shrine - Located in the heart of Tokyo in a wooded area of over 100,000 trees, Meiji-Jingu is one of Japan’s most famous shrines and is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. The atmosphere inside the shrine is very peaceful and spiritual.

  • Odaiba District - A man made island located in Tokyo Bay, Odaiba is a district with excellent shopping and amusement facilities that also boasts beautiful parks and a charming coastline. However, as it is roughly 40 minutes drive from the last destination, the driver will take you there if only left enough time.

  • Shibuya Crossing - Shibuya Crossing is the busiest intersection in the world. It is famous for its crowded and colorful district, packed to the gills with shops, restaurants, clubs and avid shoppers.

  • Omotesando - Omotesando is known as one of leading cafe areas in Tokyo. Omotesando is very famous that even became the first place to open the shop in Japan when overseas coffee chains consider tapping on Japanese market. It is also the place you will encounter the latest trend of Japan. there you will find peculiar merchandise which will never be found in other areas. There should be plenty of Japanese subculture clothing and goods that are also attracting foreign visitors.

Best Way to get around Tokyo - My friends and I had a wonderful day with Miro in his clean and cool car on a very hot and humid day in Tokyo. Miro was very knowledgeable and told as about the various sites on the tour. I would highly recommend this as a way to take in the sites of Tokyo.

Great family experience - Great, family experience! Miro was able to customize our tour for our family of 5. We were able to see so much and learned so much about the city. Would definitely recommend. We loved being able to travel as a family in our own vehicle and they even provided a car seat for our youngest. If you only have a short amount of time to see the city, this is the way to go.

Must do when visiting Tokyo. Great for group especially if nobody speaks Japanese - Caffrey was amazing. Showed us around gave us tips, talked about the history. One of the best private tours we have been on. We got to see so much of Japan in one day, easy to jump in and out of the car. Highly recommend this tour and you need to ask for Caffrey. My guy is a legend

On time & courteous driver - Our driver, Kado, was courteous and on time every time. We planned the itinerary ourselves, as we received little help from driver. We thought he may be giving us some context about the places we were visiting. We enjoyed most of the sights, except it was very HOT, with temp around 32 C.

Limited English - Although Koda was a good driver and took us to the main sights, his English was very limited and he had little knowledge of Tokyo’s history.
