“Unforgettable TOKYO”
Interesting tour with Kahoko. She tells you the history of the area and even shows you pictures of how it looked in the 50’s. We learned a lot about Japan, its people and its culture.

Thank you very much for the kind review! I believe you completed your daughter's perfect itinerary. Probably, you had a great time place to place. I had a very good time with you. It was a pleasure to learn so many things from you as you have lots of experiences and knowledge. It must have been tough days on the tours because we walked a lot. I am sorry for that. I hope you and your family's good luck and happiness. I wish you a merry holiday season as well. Thank you again and take care!

“Unforgettable experience”
Kahoko was an excellent guide from the moment she arrived at our hotel. Meeting us there took a lot of the stress out of our first morning in Tokyo, and she immediately helped us feel comfortable. She showed us how to use the JR system in a way that actually made sense, and we felt confident navigating on our own afterward. She shared a lot of small cultural details and practical tips throughout the day, and those will genuinely be useful during the rest of our trip. At the shrine, she explained everything clearly and made the experience feel meaningful rather than rushed. She connected easily with our family, kept the pace relaxed, and always checked in to make sure we were good with the plan. Her English was clear and easy to follow, so communication was never an issue. Overall, the day went smoothly because of her. It was informative, comfortable, and a great introduction to Tokyo. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a guide!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! It is encouraging and gives me a great motivation to upcoming tours. I had such a lovely time with a terrific family even though our time together was limited. As you made a good research and preparation, I am sure that you will fully enjoy your stay in Japan. Also, I can tell you definitely have a good luck as you were able to book Pokémon café. With your kind words, I feel so happy to know I was able to do something for you even a little. I just hope your rest of the trip will be safe and lots of fun. It has just begun , please enjoy every moment ! Thank you again and take care!

“Kahoko is a wonderful guide with exceptional kindess”
I accidentally booked the wrong date for my parents’ Tokyo tour, but Kahoko went above and beyond — she kindly rearranged her schedule and came back the next day to give my parents the full experience. We were so grateful for her flexibility, patience, and professionalism. My parents said the tour was fantastic — Kahoko was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure they were comfortable the whole time. She helped them get their bearings on their first day in Tokyo and even helped them purchase online tickets that were only available for Japanese credit card holders. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding. Highly recommend Kahoko to anyone visiting Tokyo!
