“A pleasant day ”
We have spent a pleasant time with Kono-san. He shared many interesting facts about history and culture during our trip, and he was kind as well. He helped us to stick to the shedule so we could see all the sights we have discussed. Without him, we couldn’t see the half of it in this short period of time, becasuse we couldn’t figure out so quickly where to go( for example in the subway or in the market). We also visited places that were very interesting and we wouldn’t have dared to enter by myself.

“Initial Japan tour in Tokyo with Nubuo as guide ”
Nubuo Or Konosan as he introduced himself met me at the hotel in excellent time and navigated us easily through the complex Tokyo subway system. He introduced systems useful for future personal excursions . He provided historical information with his private hard copy slide type notebook which was my requirement in choosing a guide . Overall we saw about 6-8 major places which were prechosen via Gowithguide communication system . Overall I really appreciated my first Tokyo experience with Konosan as my guide.

“Covered a lot of ground! ”
We had a good day! Saw many different neighborhoods, but it was super crowded - not his fault. He did best to keep us together despite the crowds and constant moving around. Eoudl have appreciated more history about japan. My only complaint.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
