“More than a fantastic tour guide! ”
Even before meeting with Ms Kahoko, she went great lengths to help us with planning our trip to Tokyo by giving us great recommendations and even helping us with making reservations for a private onsen and restaurants! We were able to spend less time struggling and more time enjoying during our week here. On the day of our tour, she was punctual and our personalities meshed so well! She is a very charming, charismatic lady. We had a wonderful time meandering through the Tsukiji fish market, learning some history in Ginza, visiting Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa and the surrounding area and finally finishing it up in Akihabara. She taught us many things along the way and gave us pointers for using the public transportation system. She was accommodating to interests we expressed on the fly. I had wanted to enjoy a tea ceremony but was intimidated and she recommended a beautiful place along our tour where we were able to partake without having to make a huge deal about it and also learn how to respectfully indulge in tea ceremony. My ONLY sadness is that we did not take a photo of the three of us together. Should we visit Tokyo again, we will very much be taking another tour with Kahoko as we truly enjoyed the experience and companionship.

(294 reviews)Thank you so much for the kindest review and photos !! It's very encouraging for me. I had such a lovely time with a young and terrific couple like two of you. At the first place, I really appreciate your patience and tolerance for my terrible throat condition. My voice was like a toad with a limited volume. Still, you were so cooperative and ready to enjoy the tour. You are too sweet. I was wondering how was your rest of schedule like baseball game or Tokyo Disneyland going. Probably, you were fully enjoying with every moment. Today is Ghibli and Kumachan day ,slightly relaxing maybe , and tomorrow is Hakone sightseeing and onsen. The weather seems to be good fortunately. Please enjoy lake cruise, a dynamic volcanic view, and black eggs. That will be another exciting day ! My only regret is that I wasn't able to see chamingly crazy Ryan's ( am I right?) aspect. Maybe he needed several cups of sake. Your joyful trip keeps going, I just hope you safe and sound and hope myself a good luck to see you again. Thank you again and take care!

“My Boys Loved the Tour!”
Great time seeing the temples and nature of Mt. Takao. I really appreciated the gifts and games from Dan. My boys can be a bit of a handful and they don't like soba noodles so Dan suggested a burger place down the road. They loved it. All in a great experience. Thanks Dan!
