“Amazing Experience Made Possible by an Outstanding Guide”

Akira is an outstanding guide that we highly recommend for your own trip to Japan. Over the course of 3 days with Akira, he took the time to get to know us individually and what are interests are, so he could tailor our experience to our individual needs. He really knows the city and surrounding areas inside and out, and was able to take us to all the places we wanted, as well as introduce us to special locations we didn’t know about. His knowledge of off-the-beaten-path places to get food exposed us to the best in Japanese cuisine. He shared with us his knowledge of Shinto and Buddhist practices, which made our visits to the shrines so much more meaningful and personal than simple sight-seeing. We learned how to navigate the city and the local customs so that we felt comfortable and competent in Japan. And Akira took pictures of us the entire time, capturing candid moments that we would have otherwise missed. This allowed us to focus on what was going on around us, instead of constantly getting distracted by taking pictures. When we said our goodbyes on the last day, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend, and hoped that we would meet again someday.

I enjoyed exchange with all of you and I am so happy that you let me be a part of your memorable and special Japan trip to your wonderful son.

I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time! Akira

“Execellent day in Asakusa and Komagome”

Thank you so much Kent! We fully enjoyed the day with his guydance based on his deep knowledge on Japanese culture, history and its spirituality. Also the traditional tea seremony was an amaging experience! He was very kind and friendly to adjust tour schedule (meeting point, moving rougt and lunch place etc.) for us based on our request and interest. We highly recommend him to anyone interested in authentic Tokyo culture!

“Best Experience in Tokyo So Far”

This is the first time I hire a local tour guide in Japan. I was not expecting too much but it turned out to be one of the best experience for me! Right before I confirmed, Shunta told me he might not be available for us and will ask his friend Ethan to take care of us. I was totally Okay with it. Ethan was very punctual. Showed up before the scheduled time. The whole tour lasted around 7 hours. I don't think he looked at his phone once for personal stuff. He only checked his phone because he needed to look at our schedule or Google Map for direction (Japan's metro system is insane..). He will recommend places out of the itinerary according to our personal interest. So, we ended up at the Korean Town for K POP shopping as well. He taught us Japanese rituals at Nezu Shrine and told us bunch stuff about Japan's history. He takes care of everyone in the group as well, making sure everyone is engaged, everyone got their metro card and stuff. His English is very good by the way. The highlight gotta be the 居酒屋 (sake house) he took us to. In there, we tried bunch of local Japanese food like raw horse meat, raw chicken, raw duck, etc. Really good beer and highball. Somehow we were able to talk like friends and shared a lot more beyond just customers and a tour guide. He also shot a video for a friend of ours saying happy birthday to her. What a trip! I wish Shunta and Ethan the best of luck! See you guys around!
