Tokyo Private Tours

“Great half day with Hiroshi!”

Hiroshi San was a great guide for us. He came to our hotel and helped us greatly navigate the Tokyo underground. It’s great having a guide for the fist visit to Tokyo. Hiroshi had a great stories of the places we visited and gave everything context. He provided great views of Shibuyo crossing and gave us the time we needed at Shinto Shrines + Buddhist Temples. I have no hesitation in recommending Hiroshi. I would have liked to see the real fish market but sadly that was a little outside city centre. Thank you Hiroshi San!!!

Thank you for writing a review. I was sorry I brought the bad weather on the day:-). But when we arrived in Tsukiji, it hardly rained at all. We were able to enjoy Tsukiji Outer Market. We also visited Tsukiji Honganji Temple and Namiyoke Shrine. I would be happy if you were able to feel the atmosphere of both Buddhism and Shintoism. It started raining in Shibuya, but the rain allowed us to see a beautiful sight: many colorful umbrellas crossing the intersection. I will do my best to get an Excellent review next time, so please let me know if you have another opportunity to come to Japan. Let's enjoy Japanese culture and beautiful scenery together!

Dear Bruce S, Thanks very much for your excellent feedback. I am so glad you liked the tour, because I was worried about how I could satisfy the guests when the galleries we originally planned to visit were closed on Monday. Please enjoy staying in Japan and come back! With best regards, Kumiko Kawai

“Do Something New In Tokyo ...”

I've been to Tokyo and Japan many times, and on each visit there seems to be a new area to discover. Shimokitazawa seems to be new on the list for vintage clothing lovers now that Harajuku has become too touristy, so I decided to book Taro to show me around. Sadly it was a rainy night and the streets were not as lively as I would hope for - but that's a good reason for me to return. Taro took me around the various vintage stores, and it was interesting to revisit the record stores and see so much vinyl I had purchased in my youth and bring back many memories. We had something to eat in a tiny little bar, so typically Japanese, and the food was good. As the evening progressed it became more like being shown around by a friend. We ended up at Oleo bar, yet another tiny little bar which only a local could help you discover, and where the owner spun so many fantastic records I grew up with, the best disco and funk and hip-hop from the late 70's to the mid-80's, and by now it really was like having a night out with friends. If I hadn't of had a full day of trips lined up the following day, I would probably have kept going for hours. There's no doubt I will return to Shimokitazawa again, and I shall probably hook-up with Taro for another evening of drinks and great music. Thank you for the memories!
