“Unforgettable TOKYO”
Interesting tour with Kahoko. She tells you the history of the area and even shows you pictures of how it looked in the 50’s. We learned a lot about Japan, its people and its culture.

“Unforgettable experience”
Kahoko was an excellent guide from the moment she arrived at our hotel. Meeting us there took a lot of the stress out of our first morning in Tokyo, and she immediately helped us feel comfortable. She showed us how to use the JR system in a way that actually made sense, and we felt confident navigating on our own afterward. She shared a lot of small cultural details and practical tips throughout the day, and those will genuinely be useful during the rest of our trip. At the shrine, she explained everything clearly and made the experience feel meaningful rather than rushed. She connected easily with our family, kept the pace relaxed, and always checked in to make sure we were good with the plan. Her English was clear and easy to follow, so communication was never an issue. Overall, the day went smoothly because of her. It was informative, comfortable, and a great introduction to Tokyo. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a guide!

Kahoko K.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! It is encouraging and gives me a great motivation to upcoming tours. I had such a lovely time with a terrific family even though our time together was limited. As you made a good research and preparation, I am sure that you will fully enjoy your stay in Japan. Also, I can tell you definitely have a good luck as you were able to book Pokémon café. With your kind words, I feel so happy to know I was able to do something for you even a little. I just hope your rest of the trip will be safe and lots of fun. It has just begun , please enjoy every moment ! Thank you again and take care!
