“Tokyo in monsoonal rain”
Whilst Naoko is a lovely individual her English skills are only average. She was extremely willing, brought us umbrellas as the weather was monsoonal, but she is not a tour guide and was unable to adequately talk about Japan, its customs and traditions, its history or culture. She offered us a rebate as we cut the tour short by almost 50% but we have received nothing.

(3 reviews)Hi, Nicola Thank you for your mail. Do you enjoy cruising around Japan? I am sorry not to explain fully about Japan. I think I will refund 40 % if you want refund for the tour? Thanks, NAOKO
“A Delightful Day with Tomoko K”
My sister and I had a delightful day with Tomoko. She was friendly, kind and in tune with our needs. Prior to our tour, she messaged us to determine our interests and planned our itinerary accordingly. However, on the day of our tour, it was extremely stormy, so she adjusted our Itinerary to provide a fun and interesting day despite the storm. Tomoko was an excellent guide. She has a good command of English, can expertly navigate Tokyo and is knowledgeable about the culture, history and interesting sights. We truly enjoyed our day with Tomoko. She has a good sense of humor and was like a sister to us. We highly recommend Tomoko as an outstanding tour guide. Thank you, Tomoko, for a delightful day! Diana and Georgia

(18 reviews)Thank you for the wonderful review, Diana-san. Unluckily the weather was terrible. However, I enjoyed the tour with you and your sister. I also felt you were like my sisters. Georgia-san, thank you for the presents. Your handmaid porch is lovely and well-made. I like it. It will be my treasure and I will remember both of you when I use it. Thank you again, and I hope you will visit Tokyo in the near future. Tomoko
“Shinjuku, Cherry Blossoms, and Shopping!”
If you're looking for a customized tour, reach out to Toshi. She was flexible, organized, and very pleasant company. I had a day to myself in Tokyo while my husband was at a conference. I booked a custom tour with Toshi, and am so glad that I did! Our trip was at the tail end of cherry blossom season, so weren't seeing very many blossoms near our hotel. Toshi took me to the Shinjuku Gyoen Garden where there were other varieties in full bloom. It was beautiful! I'm an artist and had scouted out a couple of art supply stores before our trip. Toshi advised which ones would be feasible to visit during our timeframe, and then offered suggestions of other things we could do/see in the area near the shops. We saw some 'hidden gems', including a local Shinto shrine, Godzilla, and Omoide Yokocho. Toshi was constantly sharing information about the area and its history as we explored. She made sure I was comfortable, filled the role of interpreter, and ensured I had a great day. Thank you, Toshi!
