Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Kody was a great tour guide! ”

We had the best time visiting Tokyo because of Kody! Kody was wonderful with my family (2 kids and 2 adults)! He took us to all of the highlights and was able to adjust our itinerary as needed! He was patient and navigated Tokyo with ease! Highly recommend him!

“Excellent tour of Tokyo!”

We had an absolutely superb guide called Kota, who gave us a wonderful day seeing some of the iconic sites in Tokyo. He made us feel so at home and gave us a great insight into life in Japan. We felt blessed to have chosen him as our guide!

“Excellent tour of Tokyo with Chiaki”

We had a great tour with Chiaki! She did an excellent job communicating with us before our tour, in order to understand our interests and develop a personalized tour. She checked in with us several times before our trip, and even helped explain how/where to get Suica cards when we arrived. We booked our tour with Chiaki for our first full day in Tokyo, which was a great way to learn the public transportation and our way around the city. Chiaki met us where we were staying, and then brought us to the beautiful and peaceful Kiyosumi Japanese Gardens, and then to the Fukagawa Fudodo Temple to observe the fire ritual. We would not have been able to navigate the process of entering the fire ritual without Chiaki, nor understand what was happening during the ritual without Chiaki. Chiaki was prepared with sheets that explained what was happening as we observed each part of the ritual. It was an amazing experience! After the fire ritual, she brought us for ramen, which was excellent. After lunch, we explored a quiet, non-touristy part of Tokyo with old-town atmosphere, where we walked through a market, cemetery, and visited Nedu Jinja. Chiaki spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. We had a great tour with Chiaki and it was a great way to spend our first day in Tokyo!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! I’m truly happy to hear that your first full day in Tokyo was such a positive and memorable experience. And thank you for your kind words about my guidance and explanations. It truly means a lot to me. I’m very glad I could help you start your trip with confidence using the transportation system. It was very thoughtful of you to post such a fantastic review to me because I know you’ve just returned home in Minneapolis and must be busy for everything like laundry and checking mails. Thank you so much! You must have enjoyed the trip to Mt. Fuji, Kyoto and Hiroshima. I’m sure that your brilliant kids learned a lot from the journey. It will be their precious memories traveling Japan with you. Thank you for the Trader Joe’s bag and candies! My granddaughters loved them! Please send my best wishes to John. I hope to see you again in the future! Take care!
