“Great Transit Day Tour in Narita”

Yoko was amazing showing us around Narita on our 10 hour layover day. She picked us up at the airport, and showed up even before our meeting time. The day happened to be the same day as a festival, lots of people, and she was able to guide our family of four through the crowd with thoughtful stops along the way. She even knew some back roads to get us back to the airport sooner when our group (including our 2 kids) got tired from the entire day in the heat. Overall, a great experience thanks to Yoko-san. We cannot wait to come back to Japan more than just a layover.

“Four Days in Tokyo with Ritsuko – History, Humor, and a Heartfelt Connection”

Spending four incredible days in Tokyo with Ritsuko was like traveling with a beloved family member who just happens to know the city like the back of her hand. From the spiritual calm of ancient shrines and temples to the bustling energy of Tokyo’s top shopping districts, she guided us with kindness, insight, and an infectious sense of humor that made every moment unforgettable. One of the most memorable experiences was visiting TeamLab Planets together. Walking barefoot through immersive digital landscapes, surrounded by shifting light and sound, we felt like kids again—curious, inspired, and completely in the moment. Ritsuko embraced the experience with us, laughing and marveling right alongside us, making the art installation feel even more magical and connected. Beyond the sights, she introduced us to local food spots so authentic and delicious, we’ll be dreaming of them long after the trip. Her ability to pair historical insight with real human warmth is rare—she doesn’t just guide, she connects. Whether we were learning about Tokyo’s heritage or bonding over a bowl of ramen, her care and attentiveness never wavered. Ritsuko didn’t just guide us—she gifted us three days of connection, discovery, and heartfelt appreciation! If you’re seeking a guide who blends deep knowledge, vibrant personality, and genuine connection, Ritsuko is everything you could hope for, and touring Tokyo with her didn’t just show us the city—it made us feel part of it. Ritsuko you are absolutely amazing and we truly appreciate the heartfelt connection and experience that made our introduction to Japan everlasting! We wish you the best and hope to see you again when we return to Japan!

“A Three-Day Kyoto Journey with Toshiyo – History, Heart, and Unforgettable Hospitality”

We had the absolute pleasure of spending three days in Kyoto with our incredible guide Toshiyo! Our experience with her was truly unforgettable. Her deep knowledge of Kyoto’s rich cultural heritage added meaning and magic to every site we explored. At Fushimi Inari Taisha, she shared insightful stories about Shinto traditions and the symbolism behind the endless vermilion torii gates, turning a famous landmark into a spiritual experience! Kiyomizu-dera Temple was equally captivating under her guidance, where legends of ancient pilgrims and architectural marvels came to life with grace and clarity. Each day was thoughtfully planned, balancing historical depth with personal touches adding a quick visit to the famous Gion festival! Her gentle, kind personality made us feel comfortable from the very first moment, and her ability to connect history with human emotion made Kyoto feel deeply personal. Toshiyo didn’t just guide us—she gifted us three days of connection, discovery, and heartfelt appreciation. If you’re looking for a guide who blends scholarly insight with genuine warmth, you’ll be lucky to tour Kyoto with her. Also she amazing walker so make sure you keep up!! :) Thanks again Toshiyo for an amazing experience in Kyoto!!
