Sherilyn was absolutely amazing — her energy is infectious! My final tour of this incredible vacation was a Ginza shopping experience, and it was the perfect way to end my trip. You can immediately tell that Sherilyn is an educator. While we were shopping, she shared little-known and fun facts about the buildings and history of Ginza, which made the experience even more special. She also gave me wonderful subway directions and helped me select matcha, sake, Hello Kitty items, and tea. We even had time to explore a couple of vintage shops! What truly stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the day. She even helped carry my purchases while I shopped. And did I mention her English is excellent? Sherilyn made the entire experience fun, seamless, and memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out my vacation in Japan.
Show moreThis tour was a fully comprehensive highlight of Tokyo's many shopping and informal dining locations centered around the Ginza in particular. Our professional tour guide (Gab) was very knowledgeable of all of the points of interest that we explored. Gab had a very fun and outgoing personality that made us feel very much at ease during this tour. Gab spoke perfect English and made our excursion very personalized and customized as to the sights that we wanted to see on our tour. This tour had a very convenient pickup and drop off location to our hotel. I would highly recommend this tour and feel that our tour guide Gab made a real point of difference in this excursion.

What you’ll do
Join an insightful local host and work your way through the glamour of Ginza, the only place to be if you’re looking to show off in Tokyo. You could shop till you drop in mega-department stores like Wako, a luxury goods palace distinguished by an iconic clock tower, or you could splash out and savor some fine dining at The Grand 47, a modern take on classic Japanese cuisine.
Absorb some culture at Kabukiza, a playhouse where Ginza celebrates the ancient art of kabuki theater, or, if you’re tired of the excess, let your host lead you to hidden gems like Yurakucho Gado-shita, a diverse collection of tiny restaurants built under the Yamanote railway line, which serve up everything from fine French wine to cheap local street food.
