WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Tsukiji Jogai Market
However the main Tsukiji Market was replaced in 2018 by the Toyosu Market, the outer market at Tsukiji remains. There are still various restaurants and shops containing numerous interesting items. (Some shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays,Wednesdays, and national holidays)
2. Hama Rikyu Gardens
The garden has served many purposes over the centuries. It was originally built as a feudal lord's Tokyo residence and duck hunting grounds between the 17th and 19th centuries. And then it became a garden and an imperial detached palace before eventually being opened to the public in its current form. It is located close to Tsukiji outer market. You can enjoy seasonal flowers and green spaces with seawater ponds.
3. Ginza
Ginza has eclectic boutiques and galleries, the shops selling Japanese traditional crafts, and incredible selection of restaurants and cutting edge architecture.
4. Imperial Palace
The Imperial Palace used to be the Castle of Tokugawa shogun family from 1603 to 1868. It became The Imperial Palace when the political power returned to the Emperor Meiji. The Imperial Palace grounds have many of the perfectly manicured pine trees and lawns which can be enjoyed from a car. You can also take a short stroll to see the palace walls and bridges.
5. National Diet Building
The National Diet (Parliament) building is one of only a few buildings in Tokyo that survived the air raids of 1945. The building was built in 1936.
6. Akihabara
You can enjoy gaming and anime culture in Akihabara. There are also hundreds of electronics shops, ranging from tiny stalls specializing in a particular electronic component to large electronics retailers.
7. Senso-ji Temple
Senso-ji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. The name Asakusa appeared for the first time in the history of Japan in 628, when a small statue of the Kannon was caught by two fishermen in Asakusa. The people in the village built a small temple for the statue not knowing anything about its origin. The statue has been kept hidden in a sealed wooden box since 645, when a Buddhist monk who had been invited from Nara to see the statue suggested doing so. The box was opened once in 1868 by officers sent by the government to execute orders regarding the separation of Shinto and Buddhism. The temple received constant support from powerful samurai and it became a family temple of the Tokugawa shogun in the early 17th century. Most of the temple buildings were lost during the Second World War. The main building was reconstructed in 1958, and the five-story pagoda in 1973.
8. Omotesando
There are various buildings designed by the world’s leading architechts in Omotesando. You can also find every famous brand neme in fashion.
9.
Harajuku will give you some insight into the youth culture of Japan. You will see unique fashion trends and outrageous design in fashion and buildings.
10. Meiji Jingu Shrine
Meiji shrine has a pleasant atmosphere and nice break from the busy streets. You might be able to see a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony on Saturdays and Sundays.
11. Shibuya Crossing
Shibuya crossing is the busiest intersection in the world. It makes Times Square seem like a sleepy village.
12. Daikanyama
Daikanyama and Nakameguro are filled with numerous boutiques and cafes. They have a different atmosphere and less hectic pace than more famous places in the city.

Our guide Umi was an absolute joy! She was a wonderful host and guide for our full day tour. The car was stocked with waters and snacks for us. She accommodated our group and personalized to make sure everyone experienced what they hoped to on the tour. She made great suggestions for stops including one at a store where we made our own journals. I highly recommend the experience of a private tour and Umi as your knowledgeable guide!

Tomo was a great guide and took us to all the highlights in the comfort of an AC vehicle. He was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Would recommend as a way to see all the main tourist sites in Tokyo in one day without navigating the train system.

What a fabulous, fantastic layover tour with Umi. I don’t think I would have been able to take in as much of Tokyo as we did in 4.5 hours without Umi’s knowledge and expertise. She is an expert guide. Her English is most proficient and the car immaculate.

Umi was very communicative through text prior and arrived 15 minutes prior to our start time. She had an incredible basket of Japanese snacks in the car.

If you have a long layover in Tokyo, I would highly recommend booking a tour through Umi and her company.

Coming from the US I was unsure of how successful I would be hiring my own car service in Tokyo. Outech was recommended by the Keo Plaza Hotel but I did the booking. From the minute I contacted them they were responsive and very helpful. While I am confident they could plan your whole itinerary a friend provided us many locations to visit in Tokyo. I emailed these in advance to Outech. Four two days we had Ami as our driver and tour guide. Ami was punctual, professional, a Japanese history major in school and spoke perfect English. She provided refreshments, gave us great restaurant options and structured a great order to our tour. I would give Outech, Ami and Richie for our evening tour of Tokyo. 5 stars. If you find yourself needing a car service in Tokyo call Outech and Ami.

Our tour guide, Ryu, was excellent. He showed us hidden spots and the best locations for taking pictures. He is very proud of his city and Japan. His English was very good, we never had a problem with understanding him. I would highly recommend this full day tour to see as much of Tokyo as you can in one day.
