“Happy and fun afternoon and night!”
We had a very interesting and fun afternoon at Yanaka Ginza with Mariko, and then some very tasty grill food for dinner, folowed by a very nice sake brewery bar, where you could try many of their excellent sakes. Thankyou Mariko! We all had a great time!

(3 reviews)Thank you Vicky! I'm very happy to hear from you that you all had a great time! It was a wonderful day for me, too! I can't forget the conversation between you and old lady at liqueur shop in Yanaka, both speaking in each native language but understanding each other. And I want to say thank you for the present that you gave me. The aroma is great! I love it! I hope you have fun during your rest of your days in Japan. And hope see you again some day!

Despite the rainy weather Marino was an excellent guide. She showed us everything on our list and then even more. She was prompt and knowledgeable! I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting a private tour with a great guide !

“Short but great”
We planned Mariko for one day to guide us from out hotel in Tokyo to our Ryokan in Hakone and show us the highlights there. Upon our meeting in the hotel the first thing she had to tell us was the Ryokan in Hakone could not be reached due to the heavy snowfall. She helped us to make new plans for that day. She is very friendly, speaks good English and is a pleasant personality. Thanks Mariko!
