“A memorable last day in Tokyo”
We found Hideki to be a very organised, informative, excellent guide showing us parts of Tokyo we hadn’t seen before n experienced cuisine we hadn’t tried before.. He had an excellent itinerary organised and allowed us to divert every now and then. His knowledge of history and culture of Japan was imparted at every turn. We would highly recommend Hideki

Dear Kay, Peter, Karin and Danny, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It was truly a pleasure to guide you around Tokyo on your last day in Japan. I felt very lucky to spend the day with two lovely couples, and it was thanks to Kay-san and everyone’s warm, cheerful personalities that the tour was so enjoyable for me as well. I hope you’re all doing well and still enjoying the memories of your trip to Japan. Please don’t hesitate to visit again—I’d be honored to guide you anytime. Warm regards, Hide
