Tokyo
Tours
There’s so much to do and
see in Tokyo that one needs to plan
well in advance. The first step
in doing this is to list all the
things you want to do and see, and
then plan your tours accordingly.
There are many different ways of
touring and exploring the many sights
of this diverse city. The main ones
are:
Guided Tours: Guided
tours are the best option for visitors
who are in Tokyo for a short period
of time as more can be seen in less
time. Guided tours on motorcoaches
are offered by the Tokyo Metropolitan
Government, as well as by private
tour and travel companies. They
all offer several tours to choose
from – tours of the major
highlights of the city, culture
tours, visits to one specific neighborhood,
single themed tours like gardens
or temples and shrines, and so on.
These may be half-day, full-day,
or night tours, all accompanied
by a guide. Seats have to be reserved
in advance. Some tour operators
have designated places from where
they depart, while others have free
pick up services.
Private Tours:
Some tour and travel companies offer
customized private tours of Tokyo
in mini-vans with a guide or an
English (or French/Spanish/any other
language) speaking driver. These
tours are best suited to those with
specific interests and who like
to take their time in exploring
particular places and ask questions.
Tourists may discuss their interests
with the operators who tailor and
arrange private tours accordingly.
Walking Tours:
Walking tours are ideal for those
who love to explore on foot and
communicate directly with locals
to learn more about what they are
seeing. There are several types
of walking tours to choose from
– while some take you around
specific wards and neighborhoods,
others take you around the major
Tokyo sights, shopping districts,
parks, museums, or give you a chance
to experience a Japanese tea ceremony.
Walking tours are truly the best
way to learn the ins and outs of
a place.
Self-guided Tours:
Touring the city on your own with
the help of a map and a guide is
also easy in Tokyo. There are several
published guides of the city with
detailed maps available with all
tour and travel companies, hotels,
and book stores. People who like
to do things at their own pace on
their own, or are traveling on a
tight budget, usually go for this
option.
