“Excellent First Time Experience in Tokyo”

Spending the day with Toshi was the best way for our family of 7 to get acclimated with Tokyo’s trains and history lesson of Tokyo’s palaces, shrines, temples and shopping districts. It would have taken us at least 2 days to cover what Toshi showed us in a day. Highly recommend a day with Toshi for an in-depth and informative introduction to Tokyo. Time well spent !!
