“An excellent way to explore Tokyo”
Tom was a great tour guide! He spent the day showing us key sites throughout Tokyo. Without him we wouldn't know the history behind so many important shrines and places. He gave me and my friends an amazing tour and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn and explore more of Tokyo.

Gregory from Tom, I want to thank you for your kind review for my service of guiding you and your friends in Japan. It was such a quality time with lots of laughs and smiles.

“The best guide ever!!”
Tsutomu san treated us like family, like ohana. He was patient, kind, playful, and extraordinarily hospitable!! He accommodated our age ranges and physical limitations. Tsutomu-san also went way above and beyond to entertain and play with my children, engage our papa in wonderful conversation, and ensure we were comfortable and supported. We could not have asked for a better or more warm and welcoming person to take us around Tokyo. It was truly a pleasure and we’ve made a dear friend!!! Uncle Tsutomu-san is the best (littelest kid, age 3)
Tsutomu H.
Kamakana san and a beautiful family from Tsutomu, Once again I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity of guiding you. Time passes quickly when we are having fun. That’s exactly what happened when I was with you and your family. It was cold outside in the winter but inside my heart got so warm thanks to you and your family. Everything was so natural and I enjoyed every moment during your tours. It’s great I have pictures of the wonderful memories of your tours. You have given me a great influence for my perspective of future guests, which is, the optimism for my future tour guide work. You have brightened my unknown future view of tour guide career by being such naturally considerate guests. You have reminded me of how we can treat people by being naturally kind. I will be wishing nothing but the very best for you and your beloved family. Thanks again for making me so happy. Sincerely,
$375/ per group

Customized Tokyo Key Sites for Piotr R. #2 (13 Hours)
Basic concept of this tour is to cover the key sites of Tokyo . You will see both the old and new faces of Metropolitan Tokyo altogether. This tour is based on public transportation and/or taxis, so it will involve some walkings but I will adjust the amount of walking depending on your condition and feelings. Regardless of the season, I will include the seasonal beauty of Japan for your fullest satisfaction.

Full Day Nikko Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In Japan, there is a saying (pun) that goes "Don't say Kekko until you see Nikko", which means "Don't say you are fully satisfied until you see Nikko". The great representation of Nikko is the combination of unparelled Cultural World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and pure beauty of nature at Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. This tour covers all of those key sites with my professional explanation of history and culture behind those heritages. Let's discover beauty of Nikko and exclaim "Kekko!!"
