“Amazing day out with Beautiful Chiaki ”

Our family of 5 (including 3 teenage boys) were met at our apartment by Chiaki. She was very welcoming warm and friendly. We spoke about our plan for the day and saw some wonderful sights. Being a busy Saturday we all had a wonderful time and Chiaki was sure that we stuck together. After finishing off our afternoon eating delicious street food under the cherry blossoms, we made our way back to our station and said goodbye. Thank you Chiaki for a thoughtful and fun introduction to the sights of Tokyo. 10 out of 10 :)

Dear Katrina, thank you for your terrific review! I really enjoyed myself guiding you and your beautiful family around. You reminded me about the days I was traveling with my children. I hope you are having wonderful and relaxing time in Japan. Cherry blossoms are starting to scatter now. I’m glad that you could get the last minutes view! Please say hello to Scott, Harvey, Campbell and Douggl! Arigato Gozaimasu!

“Delightful first class travel experience.”

From our pre planning messages, to our meetings and escorting through crowded streets and subways, Chiaki was interesting, informative and very attuned to our needs. There is no way we could have seen so much or be able to enjoy so many unique and authentic Japanese experiences without Chiaki's guidance. Her recommendations were spot on. We leave with some amazing memories. Thank you.

I hope you will enjoy the cruise and safely go back home to your beautiful house by the sea. Thank you for the once in a lifetime occasion and I’m looking forward to your next visit (don’t forget to take the coins with you)!

“Great start in Tokyo with Chiaki,”

On our first day in Tokio we booked the evening walking tour of Shinjuku downtown and spent a great evening with Chiaki. Chiaki is a very friendly and attentive tour guide who responded to our wishes one hundred percent. Even short-term changes were no problem for her. It was a pleasure to talk to Chiaki. Thank you very much Chiaki for the wonderful evening, we will come back to Japan.
