“Tour with Kahoko!”
Our family of 5 (2 parents and 3 adult children ages 28, 24 and 18) had a half day tour with Kahoko and it was great! Our flight arrived at 3am (so brutal) and our tour started at 9am. Kahoko did an awesome job of showing us around Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya. She paid special attention to pointing out things my kids would love (shopping and thrifting!). We were exhausted at about the 3 hour mark so decided to stop for lunch and Kahoko helped us with finding a yummy udon noodle place and even helped with ordering. It was nice to sit and relax during the meal with her….like eating a meal with a friend :) We walked about 15,000 steps with her and she was friendly and high energy the whole time (even when we were fading!). I highly recommend Kahoko for your family tour!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! I had such a lovely time with a terrific family. From the first sight, honestly , I was afraid that it would be hard to do a tour after the long flight and under raining. Still , once we met , you all gave me a warm smiles and got full-psyched up for the tour. As you were spontaneous and ready to enjoy the tour, it went amazingly smoothly. I really appreciate your cooperation. So I am sure you will be able to enjoy every moment in Japan. I just hope your rest of the trip will be full of excitement and laughters. Thank you again, and take care!
