Tokyo Tour Reviews
“A one day tour with a little bit of everything”
Shoji san was wonderful, he made sure we had the best experience we could and ensured we got the most out of the day! We had the nicest sushi we could have and even entertained my attempts to speak Japanese!!
“Don’t go to Hakone with Shoji.”
Unfortunately Shoji is not a guide. He showed no interest in anything. He hardly talked to us. He acted as the fourth person of our group. He never explained anything about any places we visited. We believe he never visited Hakone open air museum since he had no idea of the place.He did not explain the story of the Hakone shrine except it was from the 8th century. We had to google everything to get information. Very disappointing. At the end of the tour he was about to walk off into the station without even a farewell ‘goodbye’!
“Three days with Shoji”
My son and I spent three days with Shoji, a visit to city highlights and day trips to Hakone and Nikko. He was very accommodating, knowledgeable and informative and provided guidance for our independent travel on other days. We enjoyed our time with him and saw so much more than we could ever have managed on our own.
