“Excellent Guide”
Flexible. Tailored experience to accommodate my preferences. Also, helped get apps I would need while in Japan and showed me how to get and use PASMO card which will help me as I travel to different places in Japan. He also made certain that lunch was a great cultural experience. All this resulted in a completely wonderful day in Tokyo.

“Traditional Towns”
We spent a day with Takako and it was very enjoyable. She was patient and accommodating with all our requests. We went to 2 traditional old towns outside Tokyo and that was a great experience. Our tour took longer than planned and Takako was fine with that. Had a great time! Thanks Takako!
