Tom is a great guy and guide! Very helpfull and caring. We did a full day tour in Nikko, leaving from Shinjuku where he picked us up at the hotel, and dropped us off in our hotel in Nikko at the end of the day. Speaks very well English as well. Tom is highly recommendable!

“Wonderful day with tom”
Our two days with Tom were such a wonderful experience and introduction to Tokyo. He met us at our hotel and we instantly bonded over the fact that he had lived in the USA for many years. He was such an intelligent and professional guide who showed us the best of Tokyo in two full days. We walked all over the subway system with ease and experienced so many of the top sites in Tokyo. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tom is as a guide. And will be recommending him to everyone I know.

Good thoughts radiate. Lin and the team were so kind and thoughtful. During those two days while I luckily had a chance to guide them, I have never had a notion that I was working. As we say it, time flies when we are having fun. It was such a quality time for me to spend with a nice person as Lin and a group. Meeting with such a nice person at work gives me a wonderful perspective for the future, meaning I look forward to the next job. Human psychology is that good experience gives you a similar insight and expectations for the near future. I truly appreciate you!!

“Tsutomu Must Be Tokyo's Best Guide”
Tom is a very thoughtful and caring person. Before we began the day he took tome to understand our piorities and he ensured they were met. This included time at Tokyo Station helping us with train ticketing for later in our visit to Japan. For the sites we visited Tom took the time to explain the historical and cultural significance of each. Tom was prepared with maps and visual aids to support sharing information. During a shared lunch we enjoyed the exchange of information on a variety of topics. This helped us to have a deeper appreciation of life in Japan. But back to the beginning, Tom listened to us and ensured our needs were met. He is much more than a tour guide. My wife and i had an excellent day with Tom. J & S 7 May 2025

Good thoughts radiate. If I was able to provide good service with positive mental attitude, it was solely thanks to the warm hearts and quality personality of my guests, Joseph and Sharyn, who were very kind and thoughtful all along the way. I truly enjoyed the pleasant conversation which I was hoping that it would not end. Joseph and Sharyn, you are the very reason why I love the job of tour guiding. I hope there will be a chance when we meet again. I will be wishing nothing but the very best for you and your beautiful family. Sincerely, Tom Harada
