“Excellent knowledge of history and a lovely person”
We enjoyed our tour of the Shibuya area and surrounds with Keiko. Her English is excellent. We were a party of four people and Keiko was very patient with us and our many questions. She has an exceptional knowledge of Japanese history and the local areas. We highly recommend Keiko for anyone looking for an exceptional guide. She is a lovely person also. Thankyou Keiko.

(92 reviews)Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. We walked around Shibuya & Harajuku area like residents, not like tourists. That area is modern part of Tokyo. But interestingly it has two faces, modern and historical. I was happy to show you both of them. You saw fashionable and KAWAII people as well as traditional wedding parades. I hope all of you will have great days in Japan. ARIGATO GOZAIMASHITA !!
