“A perfect day in Tokyo”
It was a wonderful day with Yukiko. She is so nice, she try to make all wishes true(and manages it). We visited beautiful, interesting places, eat at a very good and authentic restaurant, got a really good matcha and had a lot of fun. I recommend Yukiko for everybody who want to have a great tour in Tokyo. Thank you for this experience. Dana

Thank you for your wonderful review, Dana!! I'm glad that we could visit the main area with other requested places flexible and smoothly, today. As you're with me, I tried to show you something different like off the beaten track places and local spots. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of your days in Tokyo and will share your experiences in Japan to your family and friends! Domo Arigatou gozaimashita!!
