Practical tips before you book

Before you meet your guide in Tokyo, it helps to decide:

Walking vs private car — distances and traffic feel different by neighborhood (Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinjuku).
Ticket strategy — timed entries for headline sights should be booked early in peak months (Mar–May & Oct–Nov).
Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
Language expectation — ask whether French (Français) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.

Local tip for Tokyo: Two wards per day max; book popular restaurants ahead.
