“Full day tour in Tokyo ”
The tour was an incredible experience! My husband and I had already explore some of Tokyo the day before and Michiko was able to personalize the tour that morning. Michiko was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and helped work with the vendors in Japanese in some markets. She was very personable and made the tour extra special!

“ A special introduction to Tokyo.”
A lovely two days guiding us around some of Tokyo’s treasures. The highlight was being at the Shinto fire ceremony as well as a special sushi lunch at the fish market .
Michiko M.
Dear Elizabeth and David, Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed two days in Tokyo with me. Yes, the fire ceremony in Fukagawa-fudoson is special. Getting a fire ceremony on your belongings seemed to work, and you drove a car safely. But what made me really happy was the time we finally met together this year. Take care, Michiko

The outer market has many retail shops and sushi restaurants, so you can still enjoy the bustling market street. After feeling the energy of the market, we move to a beautiful traditional garden, Hamarikyu. It was once a palace and garden of Tokugawa shoguns. From the garden, we ride on a water bus that runs to Asakusa. Please enjoy a one-hour Sumida river cruise to Asakusa.
