“Memorable day in Tokyo ”
Shizuko was a wonderful guide who showed extensive knowledge of Tokyo and flexibility in planning our day. Wherever we explored, Shizuko pointed out interesting facts and good suggestions of what to experience and see. She also showed us how to navigate the subways and trains. We visited Tsukiji Outer Market, Shibuya, Harajuku, and the Imperial Palace. I especially loved visiting the Meijing Shrine. I highly recommend spending the day with Shizuko as she is a lovely person as well as an expert guide.

Dear Talya, Thank you very much for your great review. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo. Especially, you said that you loved visiting the Meiji shrine. Because it’s the place I’d like to introduce most during the tour. Even today, various traditional Japanese events are held at shrines. Luckily, we could see a girl worn kimono who visited shrine to celebrate her Seven-Five-Three year’s ceremony. By the way, how is your condition? I’m worried because you had bad cough. I hope your cough was already relieved and got well. Please take care of yourself and continue to enjoy your cruising trip around Japan. Thank you for choosing me as your guide in Tokyo. It was really nice meeting you. Please give my best regard to your husband. Best regards, Shizuko
