“Hidden Gem Master - 11/10 will tour again”
Dai was an absolute pleasure to be around. Between his knowledge of the area, his knowledge of hidden gems and shops, willingness to adapt and adjust things as interests came up, I couldn't recommend a better guide. If you ever want an 11/10 experience, look no further!! And he was always down for whatever food or snack places, as well as many recommendations for anything and everything.

Thank you so much for such an amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with you as well. I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring both the popular spots and some hidden gems, and that we could adapt the day around your interests along the way. I also had a great time trying different food and snack places with you! Thank you again for choosing me, and I truly appreciate the 11/10 recommendation! Hope to see you again someday!

“Had a blast! ”
Dai is a really cool and chill guy, which was great as a nervous solo traveller and put me at ease, so I feel much more confident getting around on my own now. He knows the city very well and was super accommodating, helping seek out local spots and hidden gems, telling me about Akihabara's history and showing me cool places. We enjoyed some fun activities like VR and merch & manga-hunting, where he was real helpful in speaking to staff and showing me what to do or translating instructions for me. I had an awesome time, it was like hanging out with an old friend for the day, comfortable to chat to and a totally relaxed day which suits me well. He also picked out a great place to eat and was considerate of dietary requirements without any difficulty. Thanks again for your help Dai, and thanks for making my first day trip in Tokyo a memorable one, hope we get to chill back in the UK one of these days! Arigatou gozaimasu!!
Dai O.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! I had a great time exploring Akihabara with you too — the VR, manga and merch hunting were especially fun! I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, and absolutely — if we’re ever both in the UK, let’s grab a drink and chill again!

“Great afternoon with Dai!”
Dai was prompt, personable and had great recommendations of places to see during my first visit to Tokyo. We experienced an unexpected downpour of rain (it’s August, after all) and Dai still managed to make sure my comfort was paramount. Highly recommend!
Dai O.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure showing you around Tokyo, and I’m glad we were still able to enjoy the day despite the unexpected rain. I hope you had a wonderful time in Japan, and I’d be happy to show you around again anytime!
