“Excellent experience!”

My family (3 young adult children and myself) spent our second day in Japan with Akira. It was a wonderful day, not only seeing and learning about some great spots, but also learning to navigate the city and clarifying some of the customs that we were worried about. We are 8 days into our trip now and every day the kids mention him. Our favorite spot of the day was Meiji Jingu. We highly recommend booking a tour with Akira, and we will definitely use him again the next time we are in Japan. Thanks for a great day, Akira!

Akira N.

Dear Andrea, Thank you so much for the great review. I had a feeling that I was guiding wonderful people and that it was going to be a fun day when Eric and Isaac came to me and say hi at the lobby. I am so happy that the feeling was right one and we all had a great time. You must be proud of your children. They are all great and beautiful human being. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my living city together. Sincerely, Akira PS. I’m so glad that we agreed that the controversial last episode of “Attack on Titan” was great.
