“Nice Private Day Tour!”
Koji was a good guide and built an itinerary to show us the highlights of Tokyo! We got to experience delicious Ramen lunch and a cool Sake tasting. Koji was knowledgeable about Japanese history, culture and details on all sites we visited. Great way to see and experience with a private guide!
