Tokyo Private Tours

“A Great 1st Day in Japan”

We hired Yukiko for our first day in Tokyo (and Japan) to help us get our bearings. She ended up being a perfect choice. She is conscientious, visiting our hotel a day early to make sure things went smoothly. She patiently showed us the ropes, helping us figure out how to pay fares and navigate the subway, so we could function on our own. She organized the day to visit three sites, each a subway ride apart, and was an informed and enthusiastic tour guide, having prepared handouts with the history of each place and kept a fast pace to make sure we got the most out of each site.

Dear Gail and Doug, Thank you for your great review! The impression you gave me was so bright although it was cloudy that day. You were such good listeners of my explanation and you gave me keen questions. You were so intelligent and seemed to appreciate every moment in my tour. You were interested in everything I explained especially about Japanese history, culture and architecture(Doug was an architect.) Your eagerness inspired me as a guide. Doug's jokes and Gail's smile made me happy and I felt comfortable being with them. I hope that dense day will be any help to your trip. It was hard to say good-by to you as I enjoyed being with you. Yukiko

“Wonderful tour! ”

Chiaki is the BEST! At the Fudodo Temple, her printed explanations during the ceremony were invaluable to our understanding of what was going on and participating in the blessings. We had great fun in learning about Japanese traditions, history, and food during our two days with her. If you are going to Tokyo, see it with Chiaki!

Dear Vicky, thank you so much for your wonderful review! Your kind words truly made me smile. It was such a pleasure spending two days with you and sharing some of my favorite parts of Tokyo. I also had so much fun exploring the city with you and talking a variety of topics! You must have boarded the ship by now and about to start the fantastic cruise trip. I hope you take home many happy memories of Japan! Thank you again!

“Wonderful Guide!”

Keiko could not have been a better guide! Over two half-days in Tokyo, she gave us a fantastic overview of the city’s major cultural highlights, enriching every stop with fascinating personal insights into daily life in Japan. Beyond our time together in Tokyo, Keiko went above and beyond—helping us plan our dining, navigate the subway system, and organize our Shinkansen travel from Kyoto to Kanazawa and back to Tokyo. Her assistance made our entire journey smooth and stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
