#1 -Traditional and Modern Tokyo
Chizuko will first show you the vibrant traditional neighborhoods
of Tokyo. You will tour the original neighborhoods of Ueno, Yanaka,
and Nezu where some people still live in old, wooden houses and
work to preserve their traditional way of living. Chizuko will
guide you through the back streets and lanes and you will have
a chance to explore the old neighborhood temples, shrines, and
shops. You will also visit Ueno Park to explore the famous National
Museum as well as other museums in the area. In contrast, you will
explore the modern sections of Tokyo including the Ginza, Harajuku,
and the newly-constructed Roppongi Hills Complex and other interesting
areas. |

Chizuko’s specialty is International cuisine, and you can
experience both traditional and modern Japanese food in her Tokyo
Cuisine tour. Starting
from Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji Fish Market early in the morning,
you will experience some lively market activity and see a wide
variety of seafood including big tunas in the “inner market” and
other fish in the fish shops of the “outer market”.
You will dine on a sushi breakfast with a hearty soup made from
wonderful seafood stock if you wish. After Tsukiji Market, Chizuko
will take you to the exclusive Ginza district where you will have
a chance to see the enormous department food floors.
You can also browse around Kappabashi where you will have a chance
to visit stores which sell kitchen products, cooking utensils,
and of course the popular plastic food displays. You will also
have the opportunity to dine on more recent “innovative Japanese
cuisine” using the highest quality and freshest ingredients.
