“Tokyo with Chiaki”
We had an excellent guide in Chiaki who exceeded expectations! We were interested in visiting the fish markets and a tea ceremony and Chiaki ensured that everything we were interested in was covered. She is a lovely and warm guide who was excellent with our two kids also. The tea ceremony was intimate and authentic - a wonderful highlight. Chiaki is a wonderful guide who goes above and beyond

“Amazing time in Tokyo”
Chiaki was an amazing guide. She tailored our tour to include everything we wanted to do and added some things in that we hadn't thought of. The walk to the temple and seeing the big Tori gates and the palace grounds, helping us work out the trains and the shinkansens and finding our way around the station. We would never have experienced so much of Tokyo without Chiaki's expert knowledge and guidance. We learned so much about the history of each place, took selfies as we walked across the Shibuya crossing, and had some fun along the way. Very highly recommend Chiaki and we would definitely book with her again on the next trip. Such an amazing day. Thank you so much.
Chiaki K.
Thank you so much Lea, for your wonderful review and photo! I’m truly delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable and memorable day with me. I enjoyed being with you, too! It was a pleasure creating a tour that included Hard Rock Cafe and Capybara Cafe along the way of exploring Tokyo. I hope you had good times in Mt. Fuji, Nagano, Osaka and Kyoto, and took many beautiful photos including monkeys in the park. Thank you for your kind words and high recommendation. It truly means a lot to me. I would be delighted to guide you again on your next visit to Tokyo. Thank you again and take care!

“Fun Food Tour”
It was great having Chiaki take us around the very busy Tsukiji Market. She explained and pointed out the different foods that Japanese traditionally eat on New Year’s Day. She’s very knowledgeable and informative. She was also so kind to help me track down my phone after I accidentally left it in the bathroom of the crowded marketplace! Chiaki is a wonderful tour guide.
Chiaki K.
Thank you Li, for your kind review! I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring the crowded and lively Tsukiji Market and watching the traditional foods eaten for New Year in Japan. I’m also very glad we found your phone. It was amazingly good time they made an announcement! Thank you for your thoughtful words. I hope the rest of your time in Japan will be wonderful!
