Tokyo Private Tour Guides

“My Day with Keiko”

Keiko was an excellent tour guide . I spent my first day in Tokyo with Keiko and knew I was in good hands as soon as I met her . Keiko speaks English very well , and straight away I felt it was a friend showing me her home town . We did a lot of sightseeing in one day and so much of Japan's history and culture was explained to me .Would definitely recommend Keiko as a guide to see the sights of Tokyo

Mary, thank you so much for your kind review. I truly enjoyed spending time with you as well — it felt like being with a close friend or an older sister. I loved how we could share stories from our lives while exploring all the must-see spots together. I hope you're continuing to enjoy your trip. Wishing you a wonderful time ahead!

“Excellent Tokyo guide”

Kahoko was waiting for us as we exited the cruise terminal and led us on the itinerary we had chosen : Tokyo train station to leave our luggage, then a beautiful Japanese garden then the amazing digital art exhibit at TeamLabs Borderless, absolutely not to be missed. After a visit to the National Museum, we retrieved our bags and she insisted on seeing us off at the platform for the express train to the airport. Kahoko was very knowledgable about the places we visited, speaks very good English and made our visit a most worthwile experience. It was also far better value than the excursions provided by Oceania cruises. Strongly recommended.

Thank you very much for the kind review! Probably, you are spending a relaxing time in Australia. I had a great time with two of you yesterday. I really enjoyed talking with you. Still, as it was like a time race tour, it's a pity that we didn't have a sufficient time for National Museum. I saw you appreciated every artwork , I was wondering if only we had another hour. Hopefully, it might be another motivation to come back to Tokyo someday ? For now, please enjoy every precious moment with your family in Australia. Thank you very much again and take care !

“A Beautiful Beginning to Our Japan Journey – Thank You, Tomoko!”

My family and I (myself, my dad, my auntie, and my two sisters) planned the trip of a lifetime to Japan. It was a dream my dad and auntie had shared for years, and we were so excited to make it a reality together. But as much as we were looking forward to it, the thought of navigating Tokyo right away felt a bit overwhelming. So we decided to book Tomoko for our very first day, and oh how grateful we are that we did! From the moment we met her, Tomoko-san was everything we could have hoped for and more. Warm, patient, and incredibly kind, she instantly made us feel at ease. She gently guided us through the city with a calm confidence, weaving in stories of Japanese history and teaching us bits of the beautiful language along the way. We never felt rushed, only welcomed. What made the day truly unforgettable, though, was something we could never have planned. Thanks to Tomoko-san’s personal connections, she brought us to a traditional tea house for an authentic Japanese tea ceremony. We were even invited to drink from centuries-old Chawan bowls, carefully and respectfully, under the watchful eye of the host. To wrap this up, you definitely won't regret it if you book Tomoko as your guide! It honestly embarrasses me that it’s taken us this long to write this review. Life swept us away when we returned home, but even now we all still talk about the experience and we will remember this for a long time! Tomoko-san, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. For your patience, laughter, your knowledge, and your kindness. You didn’t just show us Tokyo, you helped us feel it. And in doing so, you gave us the loveliest beginning to our Japan journey :)

It was so nice to hear from you, Les. I was surprised to receive your review today, and I am so happy to hear that you and your family remember that pleasant time together amidst all the things that happen every day. It was more than half a year ago, but I clearly remember walking in the rain around Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, and at your prior request, the temple town of Yanaka, and having tea at an antique shop that I know very well. In preparing your Tokyo tour, I remember how you always listened to the interests and opinions of the family members you traveled with and carefully communicated them to me. Such careful and cordial interactions made sure that everyone in your family had a good time. Again, thank you for the opportunity to be with you. I wish you and your family peace and joy every day.- Tomoko:)
