“More than a fantastic tour guide! ”
Even before meeting with Ms Kahoko, she went great lengths to help us with planning our trip to Tokyo by giving us great recommendations and even helping us with making reservations for a private onsen and restaurants! We were able to spend less time struggling and more time enjoying during our week here. On the day of our tour, she was punctual and our personalities meshed so well! She is a very charming, charismatic lady. We had a wonderful time meandering through the Tsukiji fish market, learning some history in Ginza, visiting Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa and the surrounding area and finally finishing it up in Akihabara. She taught us many things along the way and gave us pointers for using the public transportation system. She was accommodating to interests we expressed on the fly. I had wanted to enjoy a tea ceremony but was intimidated and she recommended a beautiful place along our tour where we were able to partake without having to make a huge deal about it and also learn how to respectfully indulge in tea ceremony. My ONLY sadness is that we did not take a photo of the three of us together. Should we visit Tokyo again, we will very much be taking another tour with Kahoko as we truly enjoyed the experience and companionship.

(294 reviews)Thank you so much for the kindest review and photos !! It's very encouraging for me. I had such a lovely time with a young and terrific couple like two of you. At the first place, I really appreciate your patience and tolerance for my terrible throat condition. My voice was like a toad with a limited volume. Still, you were so cooperative and ready to enjoy the tour. You are too sweet. I was wondering how was your rest of schedule like baseball game or Tokyo Disneyland going. Probably, you were fully enjoying with every moment. Today is Ghibli and Kumachan day ,slightly relaxing maybe , and tomorrow is Hakone sightseeing and onsen. The weather seems to be good fortunately. Please enjoy lake cruise, a dynamic volcanic view, and black eggs. That will be another exciting day ! My only regret is that I wasn't able to see chamingly crazy Ryan's ( am I right?) aspect. Maybe he needed several cups of sake. Your joyful trip keeps going, I just hope you safe and sound and hope myself a good luck to see you again. Thank you again and take care!
“Fantastic Guide”
Vikki was great from the start. Good Comms and tailored an itinerary for us. Kept in touch all the way until the meet day and it was a wonderful day, thanks to Vikki's detailed knowledge. Very easy to talk to and knows all the best spots! We went to the big Buddha, my wife had a go at playing the instruments thanks to a friendly chat Vikki had with the performers. We took the local bus back into town and adapted the itinerary to include a shopping stop before going to the cider factory for lunch. We capped it off looking around the Nebuta Museum looking at the incredible floats, before being escorted back to our boat. I would thoroughly recommend Vikki anybody visiting the Aamori region.

“Nagasaki day tour”
Yoshi was very helpful in setting up the tour for us including telling us which trains to take from Hakata since Nagasaki was a day trip for us. She was very flexible in the scheduling of the sights and also, gave us recommendations of what to see. We went to the Atomic Bomb Museum, Oura Cathedral, Inasayama Observatory and the 26 Martyrs memorial. Yoshi was very informative on all of these sites and also, gave us more insight to other things we saw along the way. Noriko was also very helpful finding a lunch restaurant that could accomodate our son's food allergies. We were very happy with the tour and would highly recommend her.
