“A fantastic time with a great Guide”
We had a great time Dai, taking us to the must see places in Tokyo, enjoying fabulous food and allowed us to maximise our time in Tokyo with Dai looking after our transport, navigation and dining arrangements. Without Dai we would have seen a fraction of what we achieved. For first time visitors I would recommend Dai, as Tokyo would be quite overwhelming without the guidance from Dai.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and I appreciate for your attentive cares during our tour! Since your time in Tokyo was limited to only a few days, I was trying to do my best to make your tour optimized with my suggestions. I hope you enjoyed spending time in Tokyo and want both of you to have a greatful time in each place!! Thank you so much :)

“A wonderful day and tour with Dai!”
Dai made our experience in Tokyo truly memorable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful, sharing fascinating insights about the city while making sure we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the experience. His local knowledge and attention to detail gave us a wonderful perspective on Tokyo that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Plus it was his birthday, happy birthday Dai! Highly recommended!

“Daí is a wonderful guide”
Dai did a great job from meeting us at our hotel, helping us as our translator throughout the day, ensuring we had great photos and thoughtfully creating a lovely day trip to Kamakura. It was fun to see the ocean, the Tsurugaoka Hachimangū shrine and the Great Buddha.

Thank you for your kind words! I always believe that everything about Kamakura is fascinating. If you enjoyed a lot, it'd be amazing! Hopefully, you enjoy the rest of the world of Japan :)

Jazz kissa crawl: quiet listening + conversations
Join me for an evening of deep grooves as we move around Tokyo, exploring a few of the city's storied jazz kissas in a vinyl-inspired take on a pub crawl. Jazz kissas are intimate listening bars built around carefully curated records and high-quality sound systems, and have been an integral part of Tokyo's jazz culture since the post-war era. Each is its own world, shaped by the owner's tastes and philosophy. By visiting a small selection, you'll experience their different expressions.
