Kahoko's Excursion from Tokyo to Kawagoe
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.

We had a great time with Kahako. We had rain but this didn’t dampen out tour. Her knowledge and experience is fantastic and would highly recommend. My wife requires gluten free food and Kahako took us to a super little resturaunt who served a meal. Thankyou.

“Experiencing Tokyo with a local in the know”
We had a wonderful time on our Tokyo tour Kahoko, which was an unforgettable experience. The tour gave us a fantastic opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture, from visiting historic sites to experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Tokyo’s neighbourhoods. We truly made the most of our time in the city, with an itinerary that was both efficient and packed with amazing experiences. One of the most helpful parts of the tour was the guidance on navigating Tokyo’s complex train network. We never would have been able to figure it out on our own, but with the expert assistance, I felt confident traveling around the city. Another highlight was seeing Tokyo Station from above the street level, offering a unique and stunning perspective of one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Kahoko provided handy tips and advice for the rest of our trip, including guidance on how to buy Shinkansen tickets, which saved us so much time and stress. Overall, I highly recommend this Kahoko for anyone visiting Tokyo.

As you are positive and ready to enjoy every occasion, you must have made unforgettable memories. It was a great pleasure to have done something helpful for you even a little. I just had such a lovely time with a terrific couple. I was highly impressed with your interests to our culture. In a limited time, we talked a lot about many things. Through the conversations, I myself was able to learn a lot about you and your country. It was a precious time for me.Thank you very much for everything. I hope your good luck and happiness.

“Two days that were beyond excellent!”
Our two days with Kahoko were terrific. She was well organized and gave us a great overview of Tokyo. She was incredibly responsive in helping us map out an intinerary of sites well in advance of our visit. We used public transportation which was fabulous. We left feeling that we really saw Tokyo. On top of that she was genuinely nice and caring and made sure we knew where we going when we left her. We enjoyed every single minute of being with her. Thank you Kahoko. We hope to come back and see you again!!
