Stop At: Ginza, Ginza, Chuo, Tokyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Kanto

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.

We arrived a day early at NRT, where Uta picked us up, provided a great tour of Tokyo and then took us to the Yokohama cruise port. He was a pleasant guide and most informative describing details of life in Japan. The rides to Tokyo and later to Yokohama were long but full of commentary. Uta's English was very easy to understand, unlike that of some guides later on during the cruise. This tour was much better than what the cruise ship offered on their excursion: more personal, many more sites in Tokyo, and longer. We learned we had more time with Uta than we expected. It was too bad that having to meet the ship's boarding time kept us from having a bit more time with him.

Our family couldn’t have asked for a better first day in Tokyo than the one we had with our driver Abe today. Not only was he super friendly and easy to be around but he was also very informative and helpful navigating all of the popular must see spots in Tokyo. He was very flexible with our day and made it extremely enjoyable!! Thank you so much Abe you were the best!

We had a great experience of getting to know Tokyo in nutshell with so little time we had all due to amazing tour guide Kibo. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. We couldn't have done a better tour ourselves!

As a family we have been on many guided/private tours and we have to say that our tour of Tokyo was the most enjoyable and expertly done than any of the others. Our guide/driver Mr. Utah was fun, considerate and very knowledgeable and I would recommend no one else over him. My family loved him, he listened to changes we had in our plans, and he knew right where to go to maximize our time and views. We walked away feeling great, much more knowledgeable about the city, and explored it together with someone we can now call a friend. We highly recommend Mr Utah! Thank you so much for everything! ☺️🙏🏻

An exciting time! Boho was very professional and his attention to details made the tour more enjoyable. We were able to manage most of the highlights within the tour period. He was informed and attentive. We would come back.

Being able to go around Tokyo and nearby places by a private car and an English speaking driver who was friendly and relatively knowledgeable about the history of Japan, including its religion, government, culture among others and may I just add that the standard of living in Tokyo is high.

This was the best way to travel. Utah was an excellent guide and was very flexible. If we drove past something that was interesting, we was happy to stop the car and let us go to see it. This trip with Utah was very customizable and he was very willing to extend it if needed. Utah was also very knowledgeable about Japan. We had a perfect day with him and the drive was also very comfortable.

Abe was our guide. He was so professional, knowledgeable, reliable and a pleasure to be around. He created a perfect itinerary for us and was very patient when my family of 5 was wandering around a certain area separately. Somehow he always kept track of each of us and gathered us together to go to the next location. We really had such an amazing time. We would recommend this tour of Tokyo and especially Abe to everyone! Also he was Russian speaking so that was a huge plus for our family. And his English was perfect too.
