“Una Tokyo più vera ”

Simone è stata la parte più bella della nostra giornata a Tokyo. Nonostante il caldo intenso di quel pomeriggio abbia reso il percorso più impegnativo del previsto, si è mostrato estremamente flessibile e attento, adattandosi senza problemi alle nostre esigenze dell’ultimo momento — con particolare gentilezza e pazienza verso mio padre, a cui ha dedicato attenzione speciale per tutto il tour. Ma quello che ha reso davvero speciale l’esperienza è stato Shimokitazawa: un quartiere che non conoscevamo e che quasi certamente non avremmo mai scoperto da soli, lontano dai percorsi turistici classici. Simone ce l’ha raccontato con una passione autentica, mostrandoci una Tokyo diversa — più vera, più vissuta — che ha completamente cambiato la nostra percezione della città. Consigliamo Simone senza riserve a chiunque voglia vivere Tokyo con una guida che unisce competenza, sensibilità e una conoscenza profonda dei suoi angoli meno battuti.

Grazie di cuore per queste parole splendide. Sapere di avervi fatto scoprire la vera anima di Shimokitazawa — e di aver reso la giornata piacevole per tuo padre nonostante il caldo — è la soddisfazione più grande. Un caro saluto a tutti voi e a presto per nuove esplorazioni!

“Private tour by car full day @ 37c°”

Akira is a knowledgable; professional and entertaining guide. Today it was 37°C 70%+ humidity it was a hot day Glad that we had private car, a good big save Toyota 7 seater with aircon available for our party of 2!. Akira is very flexible we took the standard tour but changed one of the sites which we were happy about because of the relentless heat. 4 sites: Arashimaya bamboo Forrest, Kinkaku-ji golden temple, Sanjsangen-do temple 1001 boedha, (my favourite) Fushimi inari shrine (Tori gates) Style: Story telling with history timeline and logic! Akira has fast knowledge of Kioto and not just some historical facts but the whole day was setup with a certain logic thus creating a complete story with start middle and end. Which explains the relation between the use of land (farm), control (hierarchy), influence of different religions (powers) and connecting the place you visit I suggest to watch last Samurai and Shogun on Netflix you will understand more the struggles ways and how this society is formed. Language? Good english with a American style, able to convers easily not only tell and explain but very interactive ! Can adapt easily on the whises and level of guests. Although his speach pace is fast he can change, sometimes its just a lot of volume but he is caused by enthousiast am. Of course fluent Japanese Locol? Yes very much a local guy living between Osaka and Kioto. So for lunch try local food ask him a good Ramen restaurant Go local! We ate amazing ramen! Atmosfere: Good friendly helpful and flexible! Making a good comfortable tour. Worthwihle? Yes yes yes yes We only had one day so Akira helped us to make it most out it. The sites were very nice and your not only visiting them but also learning and understanding it will give context! Driving? Save and with good manners can easily navigate and knows his way around Improvements? @Akira, get your own “Tory gate” mate, it will, help your businesses.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I feel truly lucky to have met you both in Kyoto. And rather than saying that I’m knowledgeable, I have to say I was equally impressed by your own knowledge and understanding of Japanese history. Although you may have visited Japan many times before, I truly hope that after this experience, you have gained an even deeper understanding of Japan’s fascinating history and culture. I also really appreciate all the meaningful photos you took while I was explaining everything. I absolutely love them, and I’m very happy to share them online so that more people can see them. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I sincerely hope we’ll have another opportunity to meet again in the future. Thank you!

“Tour of Hidden Christians and Catholic Churches ”

First of all, Armando is a pleasant and entertaining guide. His communication skills are excellent. Not only is his familiarity with the place very good but his genuine interest in our Catholic practices, tradition made us also share with him our own knowledge. We both learned from one another.
