“The absolute best guide in Japan—felt like family ”

Dai made our Japan trip extraordinary. Even before we arrived, his communication was outstanding—when we weren’t sure we could travel due to a hospital issue, he was supportive, understanding, and kindly kept our spot open. Once in Japan, he arrived at our hotel at the agreed time and immediately made us feel like he was more like a member of our family than our guide. His English is excellent, and he was endlessly patient with our many personal questions as we wanted to really get to know him. He went above and beyond: pre‑booking our brewery visit, guiding us through and showing us how to use the subway, translating at a flea market, and even watching over my grown kids so we could enjoy a peaceful tea break. If you’re booking through GetYourGuide, request Dai. He turns a great vacation into something unforgettable. We will truly miss him and cannot thank him enough for his excellent services.

“Fun night out - local style!”

We had such a great time with Kota! He picked us up at our hotel and took us by train to experience some of the local nightlife. We were the only tourists at every spot he took us to, which made the experience feel truly authentic. Kota helped us order, explained Japanese customs and etiquette, and showed us how to order, ask for the check, and navigate the local bar scene. After dinner, we visited a few different bars and really enjoyed experiencing the local atmosphere. He even took us back to our hotel by train and helped us understand how to navigate the train system. Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience. We highly recommend Kota if you want to experience Tokyo like a local!

“Wonderful Intro to Tokyo”

We had a great first day in Tokyo with Yukiko - she is charming and knowledgeable and gave us a great intro to Japanese culture and history. Her English is excellent. We had a very special traditional lunch at a small family restaurant and were visited by a geisha - and the fire ceremony at the Fukagawa shrine was memorable. Loved it!
