“Off the beaten path tour.”
Akira will take you to places where locals go for lunch and the best shaved ice. We also stopped by for a coffee made with love. If you are looking to visit Tokyo, off the beaten trail, then, I would highly recomend. Many thanks to Akira, who has been an amzing guide.

(312 reviews)Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the great review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the day with me. It was so much fun to walk in the city with wonderful people like you and your family that I (and I assume you too) had forgotten about unpleasant weather that day. Thank you so much for having me as a guide and thank you so much for paying respect to locals and their culture wherever we went, I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
