“Hidden Gem Master - 11/10 will tour again”

Dai was an absolute pleasure to be around. Between his knowledge of the area, his knowledge of hidden gems and shops, willingness to adapt and adjust things as interests came up, I couldn't recommend a better guide. If you ever want an 11/10 experience, look no further!! And he was always down for whatever food or snack places, as well as many recommendations for anything and everything.

Thank you so much for such an amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with you as well. I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring both the popular spots and some hidden gems, and that we could adapt the day around your interests along the way. I also had a great time trying different food and snack places with you! Thank you again for choosing me, and I truly appreciate the 11/10 recommendation! Hope to see you again someday!

“One of the best guided tours ever”

From the moment I reached out to Akira to customize my tour to the time we concluded in Ginza, I had the most amazing experience. Akira really knows Tokyo beyond the usual and had great suggestions for all the things I wanted to do including suggestions for different food experiences and shopping. It was never tourist traps or mediocre places, always the best. we had great conversation, never a dull moment. If every city had an Akira I would solo travel a lot more and my business trips would be way more fun.

Dear Tim, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad you felt you had a great conversation (and never a dull moment) during the tour, because I felt exact the same. This is my eleventh year as a private tour guide and I would like to thank you for another moment to realize how lucky one that I am to know wonderful people like you from all over the world. Please take care and I am hoping that this trip will be fruitful for your business and great discovery on my loving country. See you next time! Akira

“One of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo”

Stephen’s jazz kissa crawl was genuinely one of the highlights of my time in Tokyo. He has a fantastic knowledge of jazz, but what made the evening special was that it never felt like a conventional guided tour. It felt much more like spending an evening exploring Tokyo’s jazz scene with someone who genuinely loves the music. We visited some wonderful jazz kissas, listened to great records, drank perhaps a little more than originally intended, and talked for hours about jazz, music, Japan and life in general. Stephen is knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny and excellent company, and he introduced me to music and places I would never have discovered on my own. If you love jazz and want to experience Tokyo’s kissa culture properly rather than simply ticking places off a list, I couldn’t recommend this highly enough. I’ll definitely be getting in touch with Stephen again the next time I’m in Tokyo. Five stars.

Thank you for your kind words, Jay! I really enjoyed visiting some of Tokyo's jazz kissas and talking about the music and everything else. It was a great evening, and I hope to see you again when you're back in Tokyo!
