“Personal Tokyo Guide”
It was a pleasure to meet Chiaki yesterday who provided a great insight for first timers in Tokyo & Japan. We worked on an itinerary pre arrival & Chiaki always came back promptly. During our day Chiaki explained the Tokyo train system to us to assist when exploring independtely. We covered a lot of ground during the day.
