“Amazing introduction to Tokyo with Kana”
My fourteeen year old son and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Kana exploring Shibuya, Asakusa and Harajuku. Kana was so considerate of our needs, particularly of my son, taking him to places where he could purchase Pokémon cards and enjoy some teen culture and food. Kana also helped to introduce us to the rail system which was invaluable in the following days in Tokyo. Kana is a wonderfully warm and considerate guide. My son and I really enjoyed the day with her speaking about life in Tokyo and getting a better understanding of the Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Kana as a guide - we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.

“Great first day in Tokyo”
We really enjoyed touring Tokyo on our first day with Kana. We didn’t have to worry about anything. She knew exactly where to take us, so we had no struggles with directions or where to go. She was very sweet and thoughtful and being with her for the day was a pleasure.

“Excellent Valuable Custom Tours with Kana ”
I am so grateful I had Kana for 2 days to arrange my Itineraries from my wish list. Kana is an excellent communicator and provided thorough followup to ensure places we went to were done in the most efficient way. Efficient messages were communicated planning daily activities and all the details and transportation requirements were done by Kana. The Tokyo subway system is very challenging and having Kana saves much time and stress for a visitor. Kana helped get me get a Suica Passmo subway train pass which was used frequently each day with her. After the first day of frequently pulling out my card from my purse, on our second day she brought me a pass holder to put around my neck to make it easy for me to have my pass ready to scan. There are always others behind you waiting to do the same. Always considerate, pleasant and helpful with a pleasing personality, Kana helped make the trip a pleasant and memorable one. Having a dedicated guide who lives in Tokyo manage the subway while we went to different areas and can share knowledge was the best. I felt so comfortable with her months before my trip exchanging email Itinerary details and the same comfort level continued meeting her in our Hotel lobby. I cannot say enough positive things about this punctual young woman and I highly recommend Kana to ensure you see every activity you are interested in. I wanted to see the Fukagawa Fudo Fire Ceremony and Kana offered to start our tour 1/2 hour earlier that day to attend the scheduled time ceremony before going to other areas of the City for different activities. To have a custom tour with how you want to spend your time with an expert was the best decision. She managed our time to ensure we had the required time to travel to each area. Thank you Kana!
