Tokyo Private Tour Guides

“Absolutely enthralled with the tour”

Stephen was the consummate host: he proposed a tour that worked within the constraints of our interests and schedule, and then guided us through a beautifully selected trio of jazz kissas. Meeting up and then moving between sites was easy; the pace was matched to participants; dinner was superb. Great conversation and insights. Next time we are in Tokyo I will be reaching out to him again to continue the explorations. Stephen has a thoroughgoing knowledge of jazz, jazz kissas, and Tokyo neighborhoods. A highlight of our trip to Japan.

“Wonderful Experience!”

We had a truly wonderful time with our guide, Nao. We had three days of tours (Tokyo and Mt. Fuji) with Nao san and it was truly one of the best experiences that we have ever had as a family.  Nao san is a very pleasant gentleman who is profoundly knowledgeable in all topics that would be of interest to a visitor in Japan. He is very engaging and he welcomed all questions from us.  We learned so much from him. His management of the tours was comprehensive.  He simplified all aspects of the tours which allowed us to enjoy the entire experience without having to worry about logistical details. He met us at our lobby every morning and expertly guided us on Japan’s complex rail and bus system, bringing us to our tours and then back to our hotel. He tailored our tours and dynamically adjusted the tours along the way to meet our changing needs and interests. He was very attentive and often did things for us that were completely unexpected.  On one particular occasion, he painstakingly helped my daughter locate a unique item for purchase in a specialty store that spanned nine floors, talking to several store employees and traveling up and down stairs like someone on a special mission. He did this not because we asked him to, but because he wanted us to be happy and satisfied. He was timely, reliable and dependable.  He was always well prepared and organized. He is very energetic and never seemed to show any signs of fatigue even on tours that would make most people feel exhausted. He will adjust to your pace but he is able to walk faster than most people if the tour schedule requires it. Perhaps most importantly, he took care of us in the way that a loved one or a dear friend would. Nao san is a special gentleman. It should be no surprise that we now consider him a lifelong friend and we will always treasure our experience with him. We highly recommend him to you no matter what you are interested in during your visit to Japan.

“Tokyo with Kenji Oct27-26”

We spent a really wonderful & pleasant day with Kenji. Really knowledgeable about the different sights, including the history & back stories. He also took us to a really delicious sushi place for lunch. Above all, Kenji was very patient and considerate about our needs, including our need for stable terrain, pace, and requests to rest as needed. Definitely recommend Kenji K if they need a guide for a lovely day in Tokyo. His energy and enthusiasm was infectious! Thanks, Kenji Thomas & Shirley

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with both of you in Tokyo. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the sushi lunch as well. I'm especially glad that you felt comfortable throughout the day. Meeting such warm and lovely people as you both made the day special for me, too. Thank you again for requesting me as your guide. I would be delighted to see you again if you ever return to Japan. Warmest regards, Kenji
