“Excellent tour with Toshirio”
My family thoroughly enjoyed our day with Toshihiro. He provided a wonderfully efficient and full introduction to Tokyo. Toshi was prompt, willing to adapt to our jet lag if needed (we pushed through and stuck with the tour he planned for us), and was a pleasure to spend the day with. He knew the Tokyo subway extremely well (down to which car positioned us best for exiting), and was kind enough to help us book the rest of our train tickets for travel to other cities on our trip. We visited the Hie Shrine, Imperial Palace (park and double bridge), Tsukiji Fish Market, (including a delicious sushi lunch at his suggested restaurant), Uneo Park, Asakusa neighborhood and Sensoji Temple, and the Shibuya neighborhood. We would highly recommend a tour with Toshihiro!

(288 reviews)Thank you for the excellent tour review, Julie-san. You have a wonderful family with two children of college generation. I really enjoyed walking with your family. In Tokyo subway, only a few stations near famous tourist spots, I know which car position is appropriate to go to the exit. Most of stations, I don't know the position. For local people in Japan, it is easy to book the train tickets for long distance journey. I am glad to hear that such kinds of small assistance were helpful for you. We visited some of the popular places in Tokyo. But those areas are changing rapidly. Summer and winter are very different. Please come to Japan again in the near future in another season. I suggest spring time to see beautiful cherry blossoms.
“Excellent Tour of Tokyo”
We have a great time taking a full-day walking tour with Toshihiro around Tokyo. He took us to the major sites. He navigated the metro very well, spoke good English, answered our questions and was very friendly. He introduced us to a tasty sushi restaurant. Highly recommend a tour with Toshihiro!

(288 reviews)Thank you for the splendid tour review, Gabriella-san. In Tokyo, there are many popular tourist spots. I made a customized itinerary including some places requested by you. I am really relieved as you said that you had a great time in Tokyo. You have good curiosity about Japanese culture. I enjoyed answering your questions. Please come to Japan again in the near future.
“Good Guide! Good Day!”
We had a wonderful tour with Toshihiro! He was very kind and considerate to the 3 of us. The tour was a long day but there were many opportunities to rest and cool off on the subway rides. Toshihiro met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the city easily. We saw and learned so much as Toshihiro was extremely knowledgable. He even adapted our tour based on our preferences and things we had already seen. We highly recommend this tour!

(288 reviews)Thank you for the marvelous tour review, Parker-san. Tour was done on the very hot summer day. I guess that you are now back to your home. Tokyo is still very hot in spite of late September. It is quite unusual this year. Your hotel was located at Shinjuku, the most exciting area in Tokyo. That is one reason we changed the itinerary. You are young people. You have a chance to come to Japan again in the near future. I suggest a spring cherry blossom season for you to come to Japan next time!
