Tokyo Cultural Exploration and Night Out
“Private family tour of Tokyo! ”
I took my 2 young sons (ages 7 & 10) to Tokyo for the first time and booked a 3-day private tour with Taro as I wanted to maximize our short stay. He was very accommodating and created a customized itinerary which included all of our requests … culture, food, and specific kid-focused activities. Taro is a very detail-oriented person so exploring Tokyo each day with him was so easy and fun! The kids felt comfortable with him from the start and he was patient with their attention span and mindful of their fatigue levels. Taro made our trip an unforgettable experience and I cannot recommend him more highly! Domo arigato gozaimasu, Taro!

(9 reviews)Thank you so much for your warm review! The three days we spent together were incredibly special to me. Hanging out with your family was so much fun. Your kids are absolutely adorable! Playing with toy Godzilla with them reminded me of my own childhood. It was a true pleasure for me to be a part of your travels. From the owl café to the gaming arcade, touring with you guys made me realize how unique our culture is. Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
“Discovering new heights, foods, and the world of Anime”
Thank you Taro for a wonderful day in Tokyo! We enjoyed the shrine and walking through the market. The tower was a sight in itself! The kids loved the arcade and anime spots. And we all especially loved the tonkatsu lunch. Your navigation through the subway system really helped us get to each of the destinations on time. You are a patient and great guide. Your English is excellent and we hope to see you again soon.

“Great Day Exploring Tokyo”
Taro took us around Tokyo customizing the experience for us. We really wanted a non touristy adventure and he delivered. He went with the flow and customized the day as we went.
