[From Your Hotel] Tokyo Sightseeing Tour Guided by a Premier Guide (6-hoour course)

IJCEE, Japan's largest organization of guide interpreters, has more than 1,200 interpreter-guide members. Among them, our premier guides are carefully selected for their exceptional language skills, hospitality, and knowledge, and will introduce you to the attractions of Tokyo.
In the 18th century, Tokyo already had a population of one million. It was during this time that Kabuki, Sumo, Sushi, Ukiyo-e, and other cultural phenomena emerged. While these may differ from Western culture, they are highly significant as pioneers of urban culture.
Today, the population of the Tokyo area has grown to 30 million. The city is active 24 hours a day, from early morning to late at night, with a wide range of activities in politics, economy, commerce, events, and the arts.
The contrast and harmony between tradition and modernity is what makes Tokyo truly captivating. A guide who understands both sides of the city will be able to share this unique charm with you.
