Akira was an Incredible Guide

Akira was the most incredible guide. Although we are well traveled, we decided to use a guide while in Japan because of the language barrier and the complex subway system. This was the first time we have ever used a guide and it was an amazing experience. Akira was easy to work with and came up with an itinerary that meet all our touristy goals. We specifically requested to view and get a feel of “old school” Tokyo as well as modern day Tokyo. Akira made sure to fulfill this request by taking us on a magical adventure throughout the beautiful and expansive city of Tokyo. We visited shrines, temples, the palace, the gaming district, the fashion district, the food markets, and ate some delicious authentic food. Aside from guiding us throughout Tokyo, Akira made sure our trip was well documented by taking numerous photos of us and later sharing these pictures via text. Simply put, Tokyo is now one of our favorite cities thanks to Akira. We are so grateful that we took a chance on Akira and will cherish all our time together in Tokyo—Sean & Kristy Wright

Welcome Package

Tim was awesome, met us at NRT airport and got us situated with our transportation to Tokyo. After checking in at our Hotel we went to have sushi, then he showed us around Shinjuku, there was a lot to see. We went down memory lane and stopped to have some appetizers and saki, after we ended up at a bar in Golden Gai. had a great time, would definitely recommend to everyone! Thanks Tim!

“Perfect Day in Tokyo”

WOW! A great day visiting the sites in in Tokyo with Ritsuko. After booking with Ritsuko, I received a message from her asking what we wanted to see. I was more interested in Hidden gems, and not so much "in" the city of Tokyo, just the outskirts of Tokyo. She put together a well planned itinerary and made sure we hit a few of the hot spots plus several off the beaten path. Ritsuko was the perfect guide for us; just the right amount of information about the sites without overwhelming us with all the details and history. Her diverse background and knowledge allowed Ritsuko to connect eastern culture with western travelers. She is fluent in English and it was easy to have and hold a conversation with her. We Would highly recommend working/guiding with her if you’re looking to see the sites in Tokyo. it was definitely a sad moment when we departed at the end of the day. We hope one day to reconnect with her back in Japan or her visiting with us in America. Thank you so much for spending the day with both Mark and I.

Angela T.

Hi Angela and Mark, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review! I also want to thank you for sharing the lovely photos from our tour. Before meeting in person, your enthusiasm and effort in researching the city impressed me and made our planning process more enjoyable. Also, it means a lot to me that you appreciated the hidden gems which I love. Spending the day with you both felt more like exploring with friends than work. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever return to Tokyo. Take care and stay healthy!
