We enjoyed the lights and excitement of Shibuya with Michiko. She guided us to areas that would have been nearly impossible to see on our own. She is energetic and friendly - a great guide!
Aloha Daralyn! Thank you for giving me an excellent review. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the Shibuya at night. Thank you for inviting me to have delicious GYUKATSU with you. I really enjoyed dinner with all of you. Your gift of Hawaiian sweets is delicious, and I ate them all only in two days. Thank you again! Michiko.
Thank you Michikosan for a great tour of Tokyo with our family complete with history to all the must see and specially to a fun afternoon shopping! She took her time teaching us the how tos of the subways, pasmo card and even helped us with reservations on another adventure. Perfect intro to a wonderful city!
Dear Dana, Thank you very much for giving me an excellent review. It was a pleasure with your family. I'm jealous that you have such a lovely family. I hope you enjoy the rest of the days in japan and the Cherry blossom viewing along the Meguro river. I hope you will come back to Japan in the near future and contact me again! Michiko

Dear Rhys, Thank you very much for giving me an excellent review. I enjoyed the time sharing with you, especially in Tsukiji. We enjoyed very fresh seafood a lot. And do you remember we were lucky to encounter the Buddist Wedding Ceremony? I hope you enjoy Kyoto and Osaka. Thank you again, and have a great holiday! Michiko
Michiko was an absolute star with a family group including teenagers and younger children. We experienced things that we should and small moments of delight for the younger ones arrived at just the right time. Our metro 101 with her sufficient for us to then take on by ourselves for the next two days. We were thrilled to have spent our day with Michiko and would highly recommend her. Airlie
Dear Airlie, Thank you very much for the great review you sent to me. I really enjoyed being with all of you! Please enjoy skiing with powder snow in Hokkaido!!! I wish I could go with you... Michiko
