Tokyo Tour Reviews

Amazing 2 Days in Tokyo!

We booked a 2 day tour of Tokyo highlights with Tsutomu (Tom) and he was very professional-communicative throughout the process in planning our itinerary. His english was excellent and past experiences of living in the USA made for easy conversation. Our first day with Tom happened to be when Typhoon Dujuan hit Tokyo and he provided several alternative adjustments to our plans to help with the inclement weather and maximize our time here. Over the course of our two days we were able to see all of the places we had originally planned on seeing. Tom’s knowledge of Tokyo gave us an in depth experience of its history, culture and customs. He also kindly took many amazing photo’s of us at the sites we visited - even provided a detailed visual map of the photo locations for easy identification later on. We would highly recommend Tom and would utilize him again - Five Stars! Thank you Tom!!

Anime areas of Tokyo

For GoWithGuide, in your name and from your own day: Masazumi gave our 12-year-old the day she'd been dreaming about for a year. We'd booked him for an anime and manga tour of Ikebukuro and Akihabara, and from the moment he met us in our hotel lobby he understood the brief: this was Samirah's day, and he built everything around her. He took us through Animate and the cosplay shop, found her the dress-up outfit she'd been hoping for, knew which floors of Sunshine City were worth the time and which to skip, and ordered us a proper Japanese lunch of sashimi and yakitori skewers that we'd never have managed alone. In Akihabara he steered us through the crane games and then to Kanda Myojin, where he showed us how to purify our hands and pray properly at our first Shinto shrine, and helped us buy our goshuin stamp book for the rest of the trip. It was Silver Week, 30 degrees and the busiest day of the year, and he handled the crowds with patience and good humour, kept us moving without ever rushing, and had endless knowledge to share with a curious kid. By the end of the day our daughter was walking through Tokyo in her new dress and elf ears, grinning from ear to ear. If you have a young anime fan, book him. Highly recommended.

The real hidden gem is the tour guide

Leandra was very flexible in helping us rescheduled our tour due to disruptions from the typhoon. She helped us fit in Gotokuji Temple, Meiji shrine, check out popular souvenirs shops, thrift shopping, and checking out local highlights of Shinjuku. Leandra was a wealth knowledge, highlighting the rich and deep history of every stop we came across. Her attention to detail and quick adaptation to a customized itinerary was a great boon to have a stress free experience.
