Review of Tokyo’s 1-day coach tour, with Meiji Shrine, Asakusa matcha, lunch, Skytree, and a possible Tokyo Bay ferry.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Amazing Tokyo Full Day Tour on Nov 23 with Yuta. He was very personable and pleasant and kept everyone organized and on time so we didn't miss anything. It was great to not have to worry about subway stations, taxis and admission fees. Expect a very busy day visiting as many of the highlights as possible in this remarkable city. It would take another day to visit all the places mentioned in the itinerary, but we did pass by the ones we didn't visit and they were mentioned, so no complaints!”

Step barefoot into teamLab Planets TOKYO for interactive digital art, water rooms, flowers, sound, and light that respond to your presence.
“INCREDIBLE!!! I really wish I had gone twice, the first time just to experience everything and be present in the moment, and the second time to take photos and videos. It was truly unbelievable. We just bought general admission tickets, but even at twice the price it would've still been a good value. It's hard to even say which part was my favorite, although I think it would have to be the room with the digital falling flowers. The only part I did not love was the admission management. I had read that we should get there really early because of the long lines. But we ended up having to…”

Explore Shinjuku’s Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai with a local guide, three izakayas, dinner, and included drinks.
“We enjoyed our tour, but it would have been more fun I think if we'd had a bigger group. There were 4 participants, and my family was 3 of those! I'm not sure it made it too much fun for the one other person either. Also, while we very much enjoyed meeting our guide and spending time with her, she admitted she was young and not really a drinker, which I think had something to do with us not actually drinking much on the tour. At least, not the drinking one expected on a something called a "drinking tour." We did feel we got plenty of food, which was nice…”
