Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Great introduction to Tokyo ”
An afternoon with Mutoh was an ideal way to start our visit to Tokyo. He was very knowledgeable, considerate of us feeling jet lagged, but showed us some of Tokyo both old and new. I would recommend.
Mutoh T.
(7 reviews)Charlotte san Thank you very much for your warm words. I am glad to hear that. How was your trip to Japan afterwards? I hope you enjoyed Japan to the fullest. Please come Japan again. I hope you I can see you again !
“Day Two with Mutoh”
We had engaged Mutoh for a second day as we suspected, and so it proved, that Tokyo was simply too immense to cover in one day. I will tell you two days will not do it either but we had confidence we could carry on later as Mutoh's good pupils. He was prompt, as always, and escorted us to other major city sights and experiences, explaining them and other details as we traveled between. He was also a good lunch companion after finding an excellent Okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake) restaurant for us. I had stumbled on a curb early, on as my trifocals are sometimes a bother, and from then on I couldn't negotiate a curb or step without Mutoh calling my attention to any unevenness. He was the perfect and considerate gentleman throughout and provided his phone number in case we needed any advice later. Rest assured, Mutoh will look out for you before, during, and after your time with him. He will go where you want and at the pace you desire. He'll look after your needs in his company and afterward. You will be in good hands with Mutoh!

(7 reviews)Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear this. I'm sorry that I made you walk a lot while sightseeing in Tokyo. Every time I pass by the cafe where we enjoyed coffee with the portraits printed on the foam, I think of you. Thanksgiving is coming soon. I hope you are living happily with your children and grandchildren in Atlanta. It's finally getting cold in Tokyo. Please take care of yourself and stay healthy!
“Tokyo First-Timers”
We selected Mutoh T. from a number of videos and boy did we hit it right. He was immediately communicative and helpful in our message exchanges. He met us at our Yokohama hotel to escort us to our Tokyo hotel and also helped us obtain a 5-day rail pass for our stay. We dropped off our luggage and began our all-day tour, which ran long for him due to the morning Y to T commute. No complaints despite our urging him to "knock off" and go home. We saw half the major sights, including some we had specified, and we had engaged him for a second day to see more. Mutoh was legible, polite to a fault, extremely considerate of our needs, and interesting to listen to. He took pains to find elevators anytime they were available to spare our 80-yr old legs. He also ensured we were educated on use of the Tokyo rail system for when we had "graduated" from his care. For more, see second day review.
