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.

A+ Guide! KOHOKO WAS TERRIFIC.

The 2 days we spent touring Tokyo with “Koko” far exceeded our expectations. She took us to multiple locations based on our interests and detailed communication before arriving. Her knowledge as a Tokyo native went far beyond what anyone can find on their own. We packed so much into 2 days and loved the added convenience of having a driver. The price for everything was so much lower than I expected, and left us feeling great about our choice. I would highly recommend Koko for your time in Tokyo.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! After the tours, you must have a great time during your cruise as you all get along and enjoy the time together. I myself had a lovely time with you all. You are all tolerant and ready to enjoy every occasion. I've learned so many new things of the US and the UK from you. It was really nice talking with you for two days. I hope you all stay healthy and happy. Thank you again and take care !!

East Tokyo Tour

Kahoko was wonderful as our tour guide! We had such a great time and we visited so many places. This was our first trip to Japan and Kahoko was warm and welcoming. She patiently showed us how to navigate the public transportation before leading us on an exciting adventure. Kahoko made sure that each of our family members were able to see and learn something they were excited about. She made our first day in Tokyo an amazing experience that we will all cherish.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! It's very encouraging for me. I am wondering how your adventurous trip is going. I had such a lovely time with a warm and considerate family fron Texas. You were tolerant and always ready to enjoy every Japanese culture, even in a dwarf-place like noodle shop. Have you already mastered slurping ? I do hope you will enjoy the rest of your stay. Thank you very much again and take care !

2 Days Of Amazing Experiences Around Tokyo

Kahoko was an amazing tour guide for our group! She was incredibly attentive, punctual, and deeply knowledgeable about Japan’s history, which made the experience both smooth and enriching. She took us to all the places we wanted to visit and went above and beyond to ensure everyone was engaged and comfortable throughout the tour. Kahoko is very personable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo! Be wary of the amount of walking you will have to do, but Kahoko will ensure plenty of breaks when asked!

Thank you very much for the kind review! First of all, I am terribly sorry for having mistaken you and your brother. To my embarrassment, I realized it on the second day ! After I realized my mistake, you made nonchalant attitude and made me relieved. I really appreciate your tolerance. After the tours I was wondering how your rest of the days in Tokyo and also in Kyoto were like. Probably, you did fully enjoy and eat a lot. I hope you had such a good memories in Japan . As you are all young, please come back to Japan some day soon. I hope your health and happiness.
