“Best Guide/Friend in Japan - Shusaku”

My wife and I booked Shu for our first full day in Japan, and it was the best decision of our trip. We asked him for a custom service experience and he made it so easy. His energy was great from the moment he met us at our hotel. He thoughtfully looked over our itinerary and gave us ideas we used all week, then patiently taught us the trains so we could get around on our own. He was so kind and fun to talk to that it felt like exploring with a friend. He showed us hidden spots in Shinjuku by day, then took us out in Shibuya at night for yakitori, standing sushi, and drinks in Golden Gai. We never would have found any of it without him. Don't hesitate. Book Shu. You won't regret it.

“Tokyo special tour.”

Yumi was very thoughtful and a pleasure to spend time with. I enjoyed seeing Tokyo and Yumi was the perfect guide. I was very happy in Yumi's company and I was able to see much more of Tokyo than I thought possible. There was a lot of helpful advice given to make the day personalised and special to me. Communication before the tour was excellent, every question was answered and I felt very confident that the day would be tailored to my interests. I cannot thank Yumi enough for being so attentive and kind, very interesting and sharing her knowledge of Tokyo and Japan. Thank you Yumi for a very lovely special day from Caroline. Xx

“A memorable look into Tokyo life”

My siblings and I had a tour with Akira that brought us to some of the more well known and lesser known parts of Tokyo. From Shinjuku to Sugamo, we saw some beautiful gardens, shopped at local markets, and tried some delicious food. We learned a lot including how to make prayers and offerings at Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, using public transit, and a couple Japanese phrases. Akira was a wonderful guide through all of it and was always willing to share his experiences or listen to ours. I will definitely seek him out again if/when I come back to Tokyo and will be recommending him to others! Domo!
