About this experience
1) Walking tour, private tour (only available for 1 group of 6 people or less) We will walk and visit the famous places. Since it is not a tourist area, it is very quiet and there are no crowds. The total walking distance is approximately 6km. 2) Tokyo Great Buddha tour The 13 meter tall Great Buddha is a sight to behold. The famous Great Buddha in Nara is 15 meters high, so it's about the same size. 3) There are many attractions such as castle ruin, park, botanical garden, art museum, and local museum. Rather than just walking through the town, you'll pass through small hills and stop at small but interesting places such as museum, botanical garden, and local museum.

Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc.. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
What a thrill. It was perfection.
Oh my gosh. Where to begin. This is the real deal, the real Tokyo. I’ve travelled to Japan a few times now, and I had always had that feeling something was missing. And this tour was exactly it. Far from the shiny lights or busy noises from the city centre, this is the real Tokyo. This is where the people really live. This is the real deal. I was beyond impressed with everything, indeed: The Buddha and the Shrine: to die for. Perfection. The Botanical Garden: precious. The two museums: super informative. The environment: feels real. Now, the guide: he’s a true Japanese lord. Oh my God: he’s intelligent, funny, super knowledgeable, friendly, witty, speaks English, super respectful and a great photographer. Few times have I done such an amazing tour. I’m so thankful I did it with this incredible gentleman.
Response from the operator: I am very happy to read your review. Japan is very unique and interesting country. Please come to Japan again.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc. cost?
+
Prices start at $5500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc. take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc.?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Walking tour, Tokyo Great Buddha, Botanical Garden, etc. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
