Mai is a Joy

Mai is a knowledgeable, delightful, considerate guide. She contacted us before our scheduled day to confirm. We then planned a meeting place inside the large hotel. She reconfirmed the places we wanted to visit, and shared the schedule. She mentioned that we might not have time for something, and if we wanted to alter anything. She also mentioned stairs in consideration for what would work for us. Everywhere we went Mai knew the history and background. We asked a lot of questions about history, botany, tradition, all of which she answered with knowledge and clarity. In order to accommodate our requests, we were about 30 or more minutes late in returning and yet the cost remained as agreed upon. Mai's English was excellent and understandable. She also sent a video that we discussed, after we were dropped off. (a traditional dance) We were very happy to have spent the day with her. Thank you.

A memorable and meaningful day in Tokyo with Akira

Spending the day with Akira was truly one of the highlights of our time in Japan. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in good hands. He is kind, warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely thoughtful in how he tailored the day for us. We began at the beautiful Meiji Shrine, where Akira thoughtfully guided us through the customs and proper etiquette, allowing us to experience the space with greater understanding and respect. That moment set the tone for the day. We had already seen a number of the tourist sights, so Akira designed a route that let us explore quieter neighborhoods and local gems that gave us an appreciation of Tokyo’s culture and daily life. He shared history and stories in a way that was engaging, and was always happy to answer our many questions. Whether we were walking through peaceful streets, browsing small shops, enjoying amazing coffee, or having some of the best melon we have ever tasted, everything felt easy and intentional thanks to Akira’s presence. Akira also took fantastic, candid photos along the way. We left the tour feeling more connected to Tokyo than we would have without Akira, and were incredibly grateful to have met someone who was so easy to talk to and clearly loves his city. Thank you, Akira, for a wonderful day we won’t forget. We hope to explore more with you next time we return to Tokyo!

Great day with Yuji!

It was a pleasure to be guided by Yuji! He is such a friendly guy and has an interesting background, which made for great conversations between the various stops. He was always ready and willing to adjust the tour according to my preferences. I will definitely book with him again on my next visit. Thank you, Yuji!
