“Great overview of Tokyo”
Tanto mi esposa como yo (españoles) hemos quedado muy contentos con Yayoi. Es fundamental que alguien local explique y dé sentido al caos que es Tokyo. Si simplemente visitas las calles puedes quedarte decepcionado, mientras que si lo entiendes con alguien como ella es todo mucho más divertido y entretenido. Mil gracias!

Hola Pablo y Bea, Muchas gracias por su amable comentario. Fue un gusto tenerlos de visita. Espero que tengan un excelente estadía en Japón! Saludos cordiales, Yayoi

“A Fun and Authentic Night Out with Kuni!”
Kuni guided our family of four (parents in their 50s and sons in their early 20s) on a fantastic evening tour from 6:00 to 9:30 PM. He took us to three very different and authentic food and drink spots, each offering a unique experience. Kuni was informative, engaging, and a wonderful host. His English is excellent, and we’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Japanese cuisine, drinks, and nightlife!

Thank you so much for the incredibly quick review! It was a real pleasure guiding your family through the evening. I’m so glad you enjoyed the variety of places and the overall experience. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your trip—and hope to see you again someday! —Kuni
