Thank you so much Jolanda, for your touching review. I truly appreciate your words. It was a great pleasure spending those three days with you! The days were full of new experiences for me, too. Wishing you and Ulrika can travel smoothly and see the very best of Japan. Arigato gozaimasita!!

“Wonderful way to see Tokyo”
Wow, what an amazing time we had today! Four of us enjoyed the tea ceremony which was lovely, and kitchen street but as well as that we walked along the river to see the cherry blossom, had a Japanese lunch and were shown shops specific to the items we sought. Our go with guide Chiaki was wonderful! She went over and above to show us the things we asked for, took photos of us altogether, was attentive, and took us back to our hotel even though it was way past the time she was meant to spend with us. I cannot recommend this way of seeing Japan highly enough!! We had what equated to a personalised private tour for a very reasonable rate! We felt safe and able to ask questions as Chiaki translated everything for us. She was informative about the things we saw and has made our time in Tokyo truly special and memorable.
Chiaki K.
Thank you so much Garth, for your fantastic review! I’m truly delighted to hear that you had wonderful days together with me. It was a pleasure spending time with all of you, from the Tsukiji Market on the first day and Asakusa, tea ceremony to Kitchen Street, and especially our walk along the river enjoying the cherry blossoms (although it wasn’t fully blossomed). Your warmth and enthusiasm made the days very special for me too. I sincerely appreciate your recommendation and hope you will carry many wonderful memories of Tokyo with you and enjoy the cruise trip. I would love to welcome you again on your next visit! Please send my best wishes to Jackie, Mike and Maureen! Thank you again!

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
