“An amazing introduction to Tokyo - HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!”
We did an all day tour if Tokyo with Ken (with his wife driving). This was our first day of exploring Tokyo after attending a conference for a few days. It was such a fantastic way to get to know the city and to learn about its cultures and customs. We loved everything about it - the Sky tower, a cruise through some local shops, a beautiful lunch, the main shrine, the matcha tea ceremony and Hama-rikyu gardens. It was wonderful to learn from Ken about the cultural practices at the shrine and this gave us a real insight that we were able to use for the remainder of our travels throughout Japan. Doing the driving tour was perfect for us as it was so time efficient, enabling us to cover a lot of ground in this VERY busy city. Ken and his wife were an absolute delight to spend time with and we very much felt like we were being introduced to this fabulous city by proud locals. He is also a fabulous photographer - it certainly beats doing selfies (thanks Ken!). Thank you very much Ken and Shanko for a wonderful introduction to your fabulous country.

“Amazing tour with Kaori”
Kaori made our day and was a wonderful tour guide to our large family of 6 (grandparents and kids). Kaori was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the sites we toured (like Senso-Ji). It was extremely hot while we toured and Kaori was so thoughtful to help us handle the heat, packing some extra supplies to help us stay cool. She also recommended an excellent restaurant which we ended up having an excellent dinner at. We’re so happy we were able to take this tour with Kaori.

Thank you for taking your precious time to write the warmest review just on our tour day while you are still traveling, Jeff-san. So delighted to hear you loved dinner there! We had an unusual heat for this season, which should have been tough on you and your family. Your family's kindness and patience made our day!! Please pass my appreciation to your family too, especially cute girls! I hope the rest of your stay would be full of wonderful moments! Big hugs, Kaori

“Best Tour Guide”
Akira is a great tour guide, communication from the start was excellent. The places we saw on the tour were great, all done at an easy pace. We wouldn't have discovered the areas ourselves, in the 4 days in Tokyo. Akira also took us on the trains to get around, and explained how it all operates. Which we continued to use ourselves during our stay, with confidence. At the end Akira sent us lots of photos he took of us throughout the day, which was a fantastic memory to have.

Dear Nick, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy that you had a great time on your very first full day in Tokyo. Also I am so happy that you felt that communication from the start was excellent because I felt exactly the same way. I would like to thank you for not only hiring me as a guide but also treated me like your good neighbor throughout the tour. I am so glad you liked the photos. It was so much fun to captured great moments filled with love and happy family vibes. I hope your Japan trip this time will be enjoyable and memorable enough to make you come back near future. See you next time! Akira
