“The best tour guide in Japan!!!”

My friend Melody is the absolute best tour guide you can possibly have in Japan hands down! We had an unforgettable day in Japan starting off with a walk through a beautiful garden and looking at the cherry blossoms. After we stopped by at a local sushi shop for some of the best sushi you can eat for a very fair price (locals know best). After we stopped at 2 maid cafes and had some very good drinks followed by going to some anime stores, video game stores, and went window shopping down some of japans most famous streets. We also visited an ancient Buddhist temple and other beautiful shrines throughout Asakusa with Melody telling me about the history and culture throughout our time there. We ended up stopping in Shinjuku golden gai and drinking at a couple bars and had some amazing conversations with the locals. Melody did an amazing job throughout the tour adjusting and tailoring what I wanted to see and making sure we had enough time for everything on the agenda. Whatever your interests are, I have no doubt that Melody will be able to tailor a tour exactly how you’d want it while keeping it very interesting and exciting. It is hard to find such a knowledgeable and easy to talk to person in Japan that makes a tour feel like you are hanging out with a friend who you’ve known for years. If I could give Melody a higher rating I would, but unfortunately I can only give him 5/5 stars. Until next time!

Ryan, what a wonderful day it has been, meeting such a kind and promising young man like you. I still can’t believe that just a few days ago you decided to come to Japan, chose me, and that we only met for the first time this morning. Within just 10 minutes, we instantly clicked, and after that, it felt like we had been close friends for years. In a single day, we visited a Japanese garden, a market, a Buddhist temple, an anime district (including two maid cafes!), fashion areas, a Shinto shrine, and even a nightlife district. We talked nonstop about everything — work, relationships, hobbies, history, and the cultures of both your country and Japan — while taking countless photos and videos along the way. Also, I still can’t believe you learned 20 Japanese phrases and were able to have simple conversations in just one day. I can’t thank fate enough for the miracle of meeting you today. Hontoni Arigato Gozaimashita. Matane!

“Excellent, informative and personalised day”

What a wonderful way to introduce ourselves to Tokyo and the world the is now Tokyo. Toshihiro’s knowledge, and his professional and friendly approach, made our day. An added benefit was local knowledge and imparted information on how to navigate the metro system. Thank you Toshihirosan. We are tired, but very pleased with our day of walking and exploring.

Thank you for the fantastic tour review, Jeff-san. Tokyo is a relatively new city in Japan and has unique culture based on a historical background. It is very different from other cities in the world. I appreciate your great insight on our life style. I really enjoyed conversation with you. After a few days' stay in Tokyo, you will visit other cities in Japan. I am sure that you will be impressed with deep history of this country. Have a nice trip!
