Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Best Guide Ever!”

If you have ever heard that the people of Japan are hospitable, that is an understatement. Dai is 2nd to none when it comes to efficiency, timeliness, and hospitality. He took the time to look at our itinerary and ensure we were able to see everything by organizing in an efficient manner. He ensured we reached every train on time but never felt rushed. He encouraged our children to explore and explained the landmarks we were visiting and made it fun and not a history lesson. He found local food spots so we could experience authentic Japanese food. When he felt our hesitation on navigating the train system back to the airport, he rode with us all the way to Narita (60 min), only to get back on the train to go home. His hospitality and dedication to his craft, made our trip one of the most memorable we ever had. He is an exemplary guide and we are so grateful for him. If you book your tour with him, you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed! :)

和訳 「日本人はおもてなしの心がある」と聞いたことがあるかもしれませんが、それでも実際にはその表現では足りません。 Daiは、効率の良さ、時間厳守、そしておもてなしの精神において、誰にも引けを取りません。 私たちの旅程を事前に確認し、すべての場所を回れるよう効率よくスケジュールを組んでくれました。電車の乗り継ぎもすべて時間通りに案内してくれましたが、急かされていると感じることは一度もありませんでした。 子どもたちには積極的に探検するよう声をかけ、訪れた場所についても、堅苦しい歴史の授業ではなく、楽しく分かりやすく説明してくれました。 また、本当に地元の人が行くようなお店を紹介してくれたので、本場の日本食を味わうことができました。 帰りに空港まで電車で向かう際、私たちが日本の電車にまだ不安を感じていることを察してくれ、なんと成田空港まで約60分間一緒に乗ってくれました。そして私たちを見送った後、そのまま一人で電車に乗って東京へ戻っていきました。 彼のおもてなしの心と仕事への献身のおかげで、この旅行は私たちにとって人生で最も思い出深い旅行の一つになりました。 彼は模範的なガイドであり、出会えたことに心から感謝しています。 彼のツアーを予約すれば、きっと後悔することはありません。保証します！ :) ⸻ 返信（英語） Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your review truly made my day. It was such a pleasure spending time with your family, and I really enjoyed seeing your children explore Japan with so much curiosity and excitement. I’m so happy to hear that you felt comfortable throughout the trip and that I could help make navigating Japan a little easier. Thank you as well for trusting me all the way to Narita—it was the perfect way to end our time together, and I wanted to make sure you got there without any worries. I’m sincerely grateful that you chose me to be part of your family’s trip to Japan. I hope you’ll all come back someday, and if you do, I’d be delighted to show you even more of Japan. Wishing you and your family all the best until then!

“Exemplary Guide”

Dai is an exemplary guide! He guided us for 2 days in Tokyo. He was very punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive & patient. He made everyone feel very welcome and comfortable. He went the extra mile to make sure that we visited all the sites that we asked of him, for there were many. He also showed us how to use the train system with ease. Which really helped out for the remainder of our trip. I have a 15 yr old daughter that was very moody to say the least and he catered to her every want & need. Engaged her when no one else wanted too. Very brave man for that! LOL :) She had very specific shops and items she wanted to see & he made that happen. Dai is an amazing guide and an all around great guy. You will not be disappointed with him or his service.
