“The best guide”
We had an incredible experience exploring Tokyo with our guide, Peter. From the moment we met, Peter was warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, providing fascinating historical insights and local tips that we would have never discovered on our own. His Spanish was excellent, and he was patient and engaging throughout the day. Thanks to Peter, we experienced Tokyo like locals and created unforgettable memories. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a top-notch guide in Tokyo!

“Outstanding Interpreter Service During My Visit to Japan”
It was a pleasure of using a professional interpreter service that truly enhanced my experience. The interpreter was not only highly skilled in both Japanese and English but also exceptionally knowledgeable about local customs, etiquette, and culture, Whether navigating business meetings or casual conversations Peter ensured everything flowed smoothly, with accurate translations and a calm, respectful demeanor. Their ability to bridge cultural and linguistic gaps made a significant difference in the success and enjoyment of my trip. I highly recommend this service to anyone visiting Japan who wants seamless communication and a deeper understanding of the local context. A truly invaluable part of my journey!

No trip to Tokyo is complete without belting out your favorite tunes in a private karaoke room! Unlike Western-style bar karaoke, Japan’s karaoke culture is all about uninhibited fun with friends (or solo!) in a cozy, high-tech booth—complete with disco lights, tambourines, and an endless song library. It’s where shy locals transform into rockstars after a few drinks.

This is a trip to see the highest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, Mount Fuji and one of five lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi.

At 3776m meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and its top and gentle slopes are surrounded by rich and unspoiled nature.
