“Thank you Dan-san”
Didn’t know what to expect, but what a fun day. I’m new to Japan and was looking for something to do. Dan it only knew the area well but was able to point me in the direction of many other local gems. Very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and seems to have this place figured out. Twice on our tour we were stopped by families from the area. The kids wanted to say hello to Dan-san like a local celebrity. Appears he has been a local favorite for some time now. I recommend Dan for anyone visiting Japan on vacation or recently relocated on a more log term program. Knows the area well, willing to go above and beyond to make your visit/stay more enjoyable. Looking forward to him adding tours in the future to this app.

“Fun evening”
We met our guys Shu and had a lovely evening walking around and exploring a neighborhood that we had not previously seen. He was fun, knowledgeable and flexible to explore things we wanted to see and do. He even joined us for a dinner and helped us with making reservations for the next day.
“Chiaki is a fantastic guide”
Chiaki went far beyond expectations, helping us out with the shortage of Suica / Pasmo cards, sorting out an excellent itinerary and recommending great restaurants - even helping with our onward travels. Friendly, efficient and highly knowledgeable, she made our first 2 days in Tokyo a great experience and set us up to be confident in getting around. Chiaki was very well prepared and dealt with our eccentricities with grace and patience. 100% recommended, she has great experience of all areas of Tokyo and can deal with all eventualities. Thank you Chiaki!

(77 reviews)Dear John, thank you so much for posting a lovely comment! It was great to hear what you felt about my tour. Like the tea ceremony we had, I cherished the two days with your family as once in a life time opportunity. Hope your sore throat will be better soon and all of you enjoy the trip to the west side of Japan. Please send my best wishes to Sue and your beautiful daughters. Arigato John!
