“The best start to our Tokyo trip”

Atsuko was absolutely wonderful and the perfect start to our family trip. She met us right at our door and led us on a relaxed half-day through Omotesando, Takeshita Street, Meiji Jingu, and Cat Street, ending at Shibuya. It was our first full day and a few of us were jet-lagged, and she set a gentle, easy pace that worked beautifully for our group of adults and two teenagers. Beyond the sights, she helped us get comfortable navigating the trains, which made the rest of our week so much easier. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. We can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Atsuko!

“The Highlight of our Tokyo trip!”

This review is long overdue, but our day with Yukiko-san was such a special part of our trip that I couldn't let any more time pass without sharing our experience. Japan had been at the top of our family's bucket list for years, and somehow Yukiko-san exceeded all our expectations. My husband, our 20-year-old son, our 12-year-old daughter, and I spent 7½ hours exploring Tokyo with her, and by the end of the day, she felt less like our guide and more like a family friend showing us her city. Before our trip, Yukiko-san took the time to learn about our interests and helped create the perfect itinerary. She was warm, patient, funny, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knew Tokyo like the back of her hand and shared fascinating history and cultural details everywhere we went. She even wore a beautiful kimono! She connected wonderfully with both of our kids despite their age difference. She knew so much about anime, which they loved, taught us Japanese and origami, explained Japanese culture and food, and even prepared information on her tablet and a keepsake from our tour. My favorite experience was the tea ceremony in Asakusa. It was beautiful, but Yukiko-san's explanation of the history and meaning behind it made it truly unforgettable. She also taught us how to navigate Tokyo's public transportation and gave us tips that helped throughout the rest of our trip. Yukiko-san didn't just show us Tokyo, she helped us understand and appreciate it. Months later, our family still talks about our day with her. Booking this tour was one of the best decisions we made in Japan. I cannot recommend Yukiko-san highly enough! Yukiko-san, I'm sorry this took me so long to write. Thank you for making our first trip to Japan even more special than we imagined!

“An Amazing Day!”

Kaneo was an amazing guide. He was a wealth of information - from the city, to the flora, and to the history. He also listened to what our preferences were and he was quite accomondating. We actually recommended him to people we met during our week in Japan. We highly recommend him!

Thank you for your good and kind review. This September is unusual. Every day is rainy. I am happy to know you enjoyed my guiding in spite of a cloudy and little rainy day. By the way, my iPhone is fixed. I wish I could have taken your pictures more.
