Kahoko's Excursion from Tokyo to Kawagoe
Joined 2016
Kawagoe is in the western part of Saitama prefecture next to Tokyo. It is a long-established commercial town from Edo Era. Unlike Tokyo, it survived air-raids of World War Two because it was in the suburbs of Metropolitan. Thanks for that, there are lots of traditional buildings and houses of different ages in a good condition. Now then, this place is getting more and more popular not only among foreigh tourist but also Japanese tourists.

“Tokyo Highlights in half a day!”
My family and I went on a tour of Tsukiji Fish Market, Asakusa and Ginza with Kahoko San. She was a great guide, very knowledgeable on how to get around these very popular sites and adapted the tour to meet the changing weather of the day. She knew how much I loved Doraemon and arranged for us to go to the Doraemon Future Department Store! Afterwards she took us to the statue of Liberty (replica of the one in New York). It was my first time seeing lady liberty up close! It was a fantastic day with a truly wonderful guide. ありがとうカホコさん、また次回まで、さようなら

(318 reviews)Thank you very much for the kind review! Even though it was a pretty busy day, it was so much fun to me. I wanted your husband to taste some gut stew in Tsukiji fish market though, because he really seemed to like it. Regarding Doraemon, there are more places to go such as a museum or a picture point. If you have another chance, I will definitely research them. I will also ask my son about some related places because he has grown up with him and knows much more about him. I saw him cry with Doraemon movies many times. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing you again!
“Breathtaking ”
Kahoko San prepared an amazing tour for my family to Nikko. We were driven up the mountain by a wonderful man (personally selected by Kahoko San) who had a lot of experience navigating the incredibly windy road! We saw incredible vistas and walked through the Imperial Villa. I highly recommend this tour, make sure it's with Kahoko San!!

(318 reviews)Thank you very much for your trouble giving me several reviews. You are too sweet. By the way, that precious Ura fan is on the wall of my room and always makes me smile. From now on,I will remember you whenever I watch sumo on TV. Thanks to you , I myself enjoyed a day in Nikko seeing you appreciate every place. Thank you for picking me as your guide. I hope I have a chance to see you again, probably with your daughter next time. Until then , please stay fit and healthy. Take care !

Yokosuka / Kamakura tour for Lydia
Customized
“Very special tour”
I requested a custom tour of Yokosuka as my family has deep roots in that city. It was also my son's first time in Japan and it was important that he see where his family is from. Kahoko San created a tour tailored to my needs which also included a stop in the very famous Kamakura where we saw the great Buddha statue. She went out of her way to walk the tour on her own before she presented it to me. I am so grateful for all the work she put into it, it was a truly wonderful day for me and my family. ありがとうカホコさん、また次回まで、さようなら
