“Perfect end to a wonderful holiday!”
Keiko-san was full of energy with her in-depth explanations on Japanese culture during our visit to Ueno and the delicious recommendations during our food hunt at Tsukiiji market. Fully recommend Keiko-san to all tourists young and old! Thank you very much Keiko-san!!!

Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. I was so happy to have a tour with a happy family. I think "Tsukiji & Ueno" tour is a good way to understand Japanese culture. You could experience it through Japanese food and traditional buildings and atmosphere. I hope you will come back to Japan in the near future and see you again in Tokyo. Arigato-Gozaimashita!! Keiko
