“Very courteous and helpful”
I actually had to cancel our tour with Mr. Junichi at the last second, but he was extremely helpful during the planning process and I wish we'd been able to go forward with the tour. After we canceled he graciously offered to meet up if we changed our mind. The itinerary he put together was excellent and I'm sure he'd be a fantastic guide.

“Wonderful first day in Toyko”
Junichi was the perfect guide, we could not have asked for a better tour of Tokyo in one day. He designed an excellent day for us around our interests. Junichi was so considerate and protective of us as older ladies. My sister and I give him the absolute highest recommendation.

“Excellent Guide”
This was our first time visiting Tokyo and had a wonderful experience touring Tokyo with Junichi San. He had communicated with us before we arrived, offering a few suggestions and options for us to consider and was considerate to rescheduling to an alternate date due to weather. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a guide to tour Tokyo.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.

Asakusa, 3 hours.
Asakusa is not only a temple town but also a traditional town of common peoples's culture. In the typical Tokyo Shitamachi (old residential town), there is Japanese Broadway, interesting and unique river view and many many shops worth to visit. You can enjoy the essence of Shitamachi.

Traditional and Modern One-day Tour in Tokyo
Best recommended tour for the first-time visitor to Tokyo. Tokyo is a unique city with various traditional and contemporary attractions. Let’s create your personalized time in Tokyo by discussing the places you want to visit. You should plan a tour of different sites, such as Kamakura and Hakone, along with my other plan. I am based in Tokyo, but I would happily arrange your tour.
