“Castles, Autumn colours and skyscrapers. ”
Keiko was an informative and competent guide. She met us at Asakusa Tourist centre and navigated the various trains to our chosen destinations. At each destination she explained the culture and the history, both modern and historic. We found the tour interesting with a good pace. Keiko was very polite and spoke beautiful English. We very much enjoyed our tour. We would highly recommend Keiko.

Thank you very much for your kind review. Today’s tour included the Palace and the Tokyo Station area—both iconic and prestigious places that truly represent Japan. I believe the scenery we witnessed today lived up to their reputation. The trees were dressed in vibrant autumn colors—red, yellow, green, and more—and their beautiful combination made the surroundings even more captivating. We were lucky to enjoy this view under perfect weather. SUGOI!! I hope you continue to enjoy the beauty of autumn in Japan to the fullest. Thank you again!

“Great tour with Keiko”
Really enjoyed our time with Keiko - very knowledgeable and efficient taking us through the busy streets of Tokyo. Despite being a large-ish/slow group she kept us all on track, with lots of commentary and interesting facts along the way. She also had a real sense of humour, and was very easy to get along with. Thanks again Keiko, the day was a highlight for us and felt quite spiritual (which was a change from all the shopping we’ve done over the last few days)
Keiko H.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I'm truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We visited Meiji Shrine and Asakusa—two of Japan’s most popular sightseeing spots. Although they were bustling with visitors, I believe you were able to experience the essence of authentic Japanese culture. At Meiji Shrine, we were fortunate to witness traditional wedding processions and adorable children dressed in kimono for the “Shichi-Go-San” celebration—a cherished custom for children aged seven, five, and three. In Asakusa, you made wishes at the temple and tried one of the trendiest treats in Tokyo: melon pan. I'm glad you could enjoy both the spiritual and culinary sides of Japanese tradition. I hope you continue to discover wonderful things and make happy memories during your stay in Japan. Arigato!!

“The most lovely time with Keiko-san”
We had a really wonderful time with Keiko. We had a half day tour today and learnt so much from her about Japanese culture. It was the best way to start our trip, having landed last night. Keiko was so considerate and knowledgeable, we felt very safe, and it was wonderful not to worry about what we were doing for the day, as Keiko had it all planned. We would highly recommend booking a tour with Keiko. Her English was perfect and there never felt like a barrier to our communication, it was amazing. Arigato gaziamasu Keiko-san. We hope we can meet you again in the future and will recommend you to all our family and friends when they come to Japan.
Keiko H.
Thank you very much for your kind review of my four-hour tour. It was truly my pleasure to guide you through the traditional areas of Asakusa and Ueno. These neighborhoods are beloved not only for their rich history, but also for their ongoing evolution. During our time together, you enjoyed one of the latest trendy sweets—adorable strawberries paired with grapes—and also purchased treats from a long-established confectionery dating back to the samurai era. At Ueno Park, we visited historic shrines and shared a quiet, spiritual moment. Your respectful greetings at the temples and shrines were deeply appreciated. I believe your heartfelt wishes will surely come true. I hope you continue to enjoy your time in Japan to the fullest, and I look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Arigato!!
