Experience a Tea Ceremony & Japanese Garden
“Experiencing the tea ceremony was very enjoyable and relaxing.”
Hiromi went above and beyond to provide a very interesting and enjoyable experience. She took care to make sure I was always comfortable. I highly recommend this tour!
“Amazing Tour with Knowledgable Guide ”
Yoko introduced us to East part of Tokyo starting from Ginza and other sightseeing areas located at this sort of the city. Her knowledge and insights were very helpful for the first comers to Japan! Our group of 6 consisted of 4 adults and 2 kids. Yoko was flexible when we would request to make a change in our itinerary and she was able to suggest alternative on the spot. Yoko is a highly recommended tour guide for the family or couples.

(134 reviews)Thank you so much for your review, Katerina san. I remember I had a lovely day with your wonderful family in June. We had an amazing lunch at a sushi restaurant which has the capacity to let our large group in without a long wait. We went to Odaiba instead of the crowded Tokyo Sky Tree. I was glad that your daughter enjoy the ride which was like the Disney ride. There is so much to see in Japan, so please come again!! Thank you again for the lovely day and the review, Yoko
“Outstanding tour of Tokyo!”
Tokyo's dizzying array of sights and experiences can be daunting - where to begin? Answer: Akira!! Akira-san guided my son and I on a tour of Tokyo on two separate days, and I strongly recommend him. Akira listened carefully to my general ideas before the trip, and designed an outstanding Tokyo experience. He took us to both major "must see" sites as well as out-of-the way places that gave us a real sense of Tokyo. We enjoyed traveling like locals and seeing local neighborhoods of all types with Akira. He was always prompt and efficient, and very considerate of our needs. For example, when we got too hot on one day, rather than forging ahead he changed plans on the spot and took us to an indoor attraction (Tokyo's National Museum). We thoroughly enjoyed Akira's excellent communication skills and informative commentary about all the places we visited. If you are in Tokyo, I highly recommend allowing Akira-san to enjoy your time there!

(311 reviews)Dear Keith-san, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy to know that you and your wonderful son Josh enjoyed the tours for two days with me. We visited variety of places, both popular sites and local neighborhoods, to feel vibes of the areas. Wherever I take my clients to, I have always hoped for them to know what each of the places are meant for locals. And also, I have always hoped for them to get an idea of what it is like to be local in Tokyo. I am so glad you felt like traveling like locals during the tour and you enjoyed it. It makes me sad sometimes that recently there has been more people visiting Japan like visiting a kind of "theme park" behaving like customer who see locals as those people who suppose to serve them. However, it makes me happy and feel positive anytime when I guide people with good heart like you and Josh. Thank you so much for being thoughtful and paying respect to locals and their cultures. Thank you so much again for choosing me as a guide for your special Japan trip which is not for business but for fun, and for new discovery. I am looking forward to another chance to exploring my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
With a real local of your choice
