Reviews
“Tokyo in one day - Junichi makes it possible”
We booked a one day tour with Junichi at short notice at the beginning of April during the last cherry blossom season. We had already visited Tokyo before, but wanted to experience another day of sightseeing with as many attractions as possible. Junichi made this possible and also fulfilled one of our teenager's wishes: he looked for and found a scene from an anime film. The communication with Junichi was great, he briefly explained the most important things, answered questions and otherwise moved quickly through the city, always keeping an eye on the best way to get from one place to another. For us, this was excellent, exactly what we wanted. Junichi showed full commitment and accompanied us until we were tired ourselves. Thank you - we can highly recommend him.
“Very Knowledgeable Guide”
Junichi-San is an excellent tour guide. Before the trip, he tried to understand our group/family composition and suggested places accordingly. He was very flexible in terms of what we wanted to do. He is very knowledgeable and was able to optimize our time for number of locations we wanted to visit. I would definitely recommend him to someone visiting Tokyo.
“A Wonderful experience”
Junichi made up an itinerary for us taking into account the items we had previously seen on a 1 day bus tour of the capital and it was brilliant. It covered all the items we had requested and some. Junichi was a hugely knowledgeable guide and kept us fully entertained. His english was very good and his grasp of the Tokyo underground system was fantastic. A highly recommended guide.
