“Excellent experience ”
Kahoko took us on a fascinating and informative tour of Tokyo She is obviously very proud and knowledgeable of her city as well as being personable. Indeed, she made us feel that we were being guided by a friend. We would all thoroughly recommend Kahoko to any discerning traveller
Kahoko K.
Thank you very much for the prompt and kind review! I have been wondering if I made you walk too much. Still, I had such a lovely time with four of you. I was able to learn lots of new things about your country and culture. Probably, our next trip will be England and Scotland. Thank you for the information! I just hope you a relaxing day tomorrow. Please take care and enjoy your trip!

“Three days in Tokyo and Kamakura”
It was a wonderful experience. The guide was knowledgeable, good English and was very helpful.

Thank you very much for the additional review ! It was memorable heavy rain. Even though we had such a hard condition, you were tolerant and cooperative. I really appreciate it. I hope you come back some day in a good weather. Thank you very much.

“Tokyo Exploration”
We really enjoyed our half day with Kohoko. The weather was not great and we could not go to the SkyTree as planned but she was very flexible and made new plans and chose other locations to visit. She also gave us additional suggestions of other places we could visit on other days like Kamakura and Odawara, based on our interest (which we did), and she was spot on! Will highly recommend!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! I really appreciate your tolerance and cooperation under the bad weather. I had such a lovely time with a terrific and tall family. Your close relationships made me heartwarming. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the excursion to Kamakura and Odawara. You have already come back to the US? I hope your family stay healthy and happy.
