Merrie H.
“Fantastic Tour with Chiaki”
We enjoyed a wonderful day with Chiaki. She took us to Shibamata (Taishakuten Temple). In the same area was a traditional, historic Japanese residence with a garden. Chiaki pointed out fascinating historical and cultural details. We then went to Fukagawa Fudodo Temple and were honored to attend its fire ceremony. Wow! It was incredible. Our last stop was the Imperial Palace, but not before we had a delicious lunch of Katsudon as requested! We had a perfect tour and learned so much. We will cherish the memories of our day with Chiaki and will always think of her when we remember our Tokyo trip.
Chiaki K.
Dear Merrie, thank you so much for your beautiful review! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed our day together in Shibamata. It was a beautiful and peaceful day, perfect to explore the Japanese gardens! I’m so glad to hear the powerful fire ceremony left you a strong impression. And thank you for the delicious Katsudon! It was a joy spending the day with you and Jim. Your kind words mean so much to me, and I am touched that you will remember your trip with such warm feelings. Hope to see you again in Tokyo! Thank you again and take care!

“Tokyo Half-Day Customized Tour”
This was our second time touring with Chiaki. Both times she took our copious written requests and developed a reasonable and flexible itinerary which resulted in a lovely and efficient tour focused mainly on local crafts, kitchen wares, ceramics, chocolate and coffee. We also slipped into Kiyosumi Gardens with 3 minutes to spare for a sunset stroll around the pond which was absolutely beautiful. Chiaki is very easy to talk with and shared stories of her life in Tokyo along with ideas for future tours. We highly recommend Chiaki! And will definitely engage with her when we return next year! Thank you for a wonderful day.
Chiaki K.
Dear Jami-san, Thank you so much for touring with me again and for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure being with you, especially with your thoughtful interests in local areas of Japan, temples, shrines and nature. I’m so glad everything came together smoothly, and that we made it into Kiyosumi Garden! It was beautiful! And now I’m glad to know you are back home safely. Thank you for spending another lovely day with me, and I look forward to seeing you again on your next visit and finding good chocolate and coffee shops! Please send my best wishes to Ann-san!
