“Etsu-san, best tour guide in Tokyo!”
A tour guide that adapts to your itinerary, comes prepared with a lot of information and also have fun exploring the city. I met her early morning in Asakusa, and we had a whole day of adventures: from teaching history, eating Japanese snacks, learning about Shinto, visiting Skytree and ended up with a miso soup lunch. She even helped me get some flowers from my girlfriend. Will totally recommend to take a tour with her, especially Asakusa or even some drinks in Izakayas, definitely will be a great experience to book with Etsu-san. Arigato!

“Ueno Feedback”
We enjoyed our trip but would have preferred to have more stops at Izikayas as a crawl through authentic street food focusing in a guides favorite gourmet treats.
Etsu I.
Thank you so much for coming all the way to visit. I’m truly sorry that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is very valuable, and I will definitely use it to improve the experience — especially by including more visits to Izakayas so guests can enjoy a wider variety of dishes. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. I hope to have the chance to guide you again in the future. Warm regards, Etsu

Naritasan Shinshoji temple before your flight
If you have more than 4 hours before your flight at Narita airport, you should visit Naritasan Shinshoji temple, and experience Japanese culture. It's a time-honored temple with a history of over 1000 years. In my opinion, it's the best temple in Tokyo region with great traditional buildings, beautiful Japanese gardens and Japanese food. Here, I can tell almost everything about Japanese couture and traditions to you. I can make your layover time in Japan more enjoyable and fruitful !!
