Reviews
“Go, go, Kahoko!”
We loved our tour with Kahoko on Monday. She helped us navigate the subway and trains on our first day in Tokyo. We went to a few residential neighborhoods and a park. It was a great intro into Japanese culture and the like. AND because Tokyo is such a small city, WE RAN INTO KAHOKO AGAIN ON FRIDAY when she was giving a tour to some Australian clients. Thank you so much!
Kahoko K.
Thank you very much for the nice and witty review! You were all energetic and ready to enjoy every minute in Tokyo, so all I had to do was just being with you and spending lovely time together. I am really a lucky person to have had another chance to see you !! You should come back again because there are more to see in Japan. I will be alive until then. Thank you very much again and take care!
“Lifetime Ten Star Experience ”
Meeting Kahoko exceeded our high expectations from the reviews. She crafted an afternoon that met both the ambition of my husband and I and which set us up for the next few days in Tokyo. This was not our first trip and we were able to appreciate delightful food and other bespoke experiences with no other tourists around. It set the foundation for the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review! I am so honored and felt highly encouraged. I had such a marvelous time with a terrific couple. My husband told the same thing even it was a limited time. " Your job looks privileged just spending nice time with nice people." Might be true. Probably, I will remember you a lot when I walk Kumano Kodo this summer. Please enjoy and take care!!
“Vintage shopping & retro games custom tour ”
Kahoko is a fantastic tour guide. She put together a custom itinerary based on our interests of vintage shopping and finding retro game shops. She introduced us to Japanese fashion brands, vintage stores and retro game shops we would not have found on our own. She also helped us navigate the vast Tokyo metro and train systems, and she saved the day by having IC cards we could purchase from her. We can't say enough great things about Kahoko, and we highly recommend her for your next tour in Tokyo!
Kahoko K.
Thank you very much for the kind review! I was wondering how your rest of the tour was like. You are making such a terrific couple. A combination between American and British is like a couple in movies. I am sorry for my misunderstanding. I should have realized it when I thought that your accent was familiar for me. I am used to American accent. Anyway, I enjoyed every conversation with you even though it was in a limited time. I just hope you had such a memorable time in Japan and come back here someday. Best wishes for two of you!
