“Ritsuko, Our Special Guide. ”
On Wednesday 18/6/2025 Ritsuko met us at the reception lounge in the Yokohama Intercontinental Hotel. She was right on time and like all Japanese people we’ve met on our holiday break, her polite manners and friendly attitude made it a pleasure to spend the day with her. Ritsuko was extremely knowledgeable about the locations, shrines, bamboo gardens and Buddhas we visited. She selected a really good restaurant in Kamakura for an authentic Japanese lunch. Ritsuko has a very distinctive laugh, it made us feel that she was enjoying our company every bit as much as we were enjoying hers. We would highly recommend contacting Ritsuko to act as a tour guide if you’re visiting Yokohama. Sandra & Jack Glen Scotland.

“What a fantastic day ”
Me and my son are foodies so we wanted to see some great places to eat and also had a few things on our shopping list. Lea planned a flexible day with various options for us, this suited us perfectly. As well as doing what we wanted we also asked to se some things that she thought we would enjoy. She showed us some fascinating parts of Tokyos History. We were not disappointed with the day. Lea being a native English speaker made it so easy to talk to and understand her. Her knowledge of Tokyo, Japanese culture and history gave us a thoroughly enjoyable day and took us places we would never have found on our own.

“From Pandas to Planets – A Perfect Day with Sami”
We can’t say enough good things about our guide, Sami — he was simply amazing! It was our last day in Tokyo, and we were feeling a bit tired and unsure about how to make the most of it. Sami stepped in and completely transformed the day. He customized the itinerary on the fly, making sure every member of our family had something to enjoy — and somehow managed to fit in all the highlights of Tokyo! - He got us last-minute tickets to teamLab Planets right on time. - Took our son to Bouldering at B-Pump, which he absolutely loved. - Brought us to the zoo to see the pandas. - Helped us find one of the best vegan restaurants we’ve ever been to. - Took us to Ueno, which we hadn’t seen yet — so glad we did! - Took us shopping in Akihabara — what a cool spot for souvenirs and tech finds! - And even made sure we got back to the hotel smoothly. Along the way, Sami shared so much about the culture and history — like how Kyoto means “capital” and Tokyo means “eastern capital.” It was like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. Truly a perfect ending to our trip — thank you, Sami!
