A Spring Tour
Imagine a beautiful spring day, the sun shining, and a gentle breeze guiding you as you explore Tokyo on your private tour. One recent group became interested in this Shinjuku exploration, specifically seeking an experience that would take them to places they wouldn’t discover on their own. (It was a tough decision for them actually; they wanted to visit the Imperial Palace as well. It might be the next ride?)
