“Evening tour of Ginza”
Dai was a superb tour guide. Clear and prompt communications throughout. Showed us around Ginza area and had many options and backup options for a great dining experience - sharing foodie level knowledge. There wasn't anything he didn't know the answer to. Was also able to show us quieter, less touristy areas along with visiting some beautiful shrines. We really felt like we saw all of the aspects of Tokyo during our tour. We'll definitely reach out to him again when we return to Tokyo.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! As you are motivated to learn anything, I could tell you many things that I want you to know! I hope that I showed both of you the culture, history and dinning options in a short time. Thanks again, and see you in your next trip!

“Bar hopping in Golden Gai”
My husband and I booked a bar hopping tour with Dai. We chose Shinjuku, Golden Gai. The night was awesome, just awesome. We've been in 2 bars, and he recommended 3 more. One of the bars we tried the next day and spent there around 4 hours, haha. Dai is very open, fun, smart, and it felt like we were always friends. He also told a lot about the nuances of Japanese culture, recommended neighbourhoods and places to visit. Definitely recommend him as a guide and definitely would want to meet again next time we're in Tokyo!
Dai O.
Thank you for your review! I was very impressed by the deep conversations we had with mama-san at the bar we went to, about interesting and sometimes humorous topics related to the Japanese language. Thanks to you, I was enjoying those places despite the short time! Let me know when you come back to Japan!

“Amazing Guide, Amazing Experience”
We booked with Dai for 6 hours touring us around Tokyo! It was such an amazing time. Dai was very knowledgeable about all of the areas we went to, had amazing suggestions when we decided to explore a little more and be curious, and was open to everything. Would definitely book again in the future when I come back to Japan.
