Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Chiaki gets 5 stars for a reason ”
I'm always reluctant relying online reviews especially when I flew 14 hrs to get there. Im glad I did and Im glad we got connected with Chiaki. She is awesome we brought my 83 year old mother in law and Chiaki not only gave all the history etc. but held her arm much of the time, sheparded her around and made changes on the fly like saying it's too hot for her at the next site let's do this instead. Bottom line if your sitting on your couch in the states planning a trip to Tokyo and your bringing your parents and you want a low key, not rushed experience she's the one. 5 stars all day

Shinjuku Kabukicho and Omoide Yokocho Evening Tour
“Great start to our trip”
Chiaki was a great guide, full of local knowledge. We had an evening tour, visiting a number of areas with a few surprises along the way (stepping into the serenity of a shrine, moments away from the hustle and bustle to name one). Thank you for saving us from looking like tourists on our first day Chiaki
