“Kahoko the Special Tokyo Guide”
We were very fortunate to have selected Kahoko K. to be our private guide on two days in Tokyo. Kahoko was extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions with clear and understandable information. She suggested a two day itinerary, but did not hesitate to customize it to address our interests. She was very sweet, patient and had a good sense of humour. She conversed in English almost as if it was her first language. We could not imagine a better guide than Kahoko. We highly recommend Kahoko as your guide in Tokyo.

Thank you very much for the prompt and wonderful review! It was very encouraging for me. I had such a marvelous 2 days with a terrific couple. I was almost loosing the track of time because I really enjoyed talking with you. I thought I knew quite a lot about Canada, but your profound insights about your country and current world situation were even more interesting and beneficial for me. I have got another goal this time. As a couple, I want be like you after 52 years' marriage life, hand in hand, caring each other, and respecting each other. I have 10 years more , way to go ! For now, I do hope you a safe and enjoyable journey. Von voyage!

“Best guide ever”
Kahoko was sensational. I have travelled to many places in the world, over decades, and she is simply the best ever. Charming, understanding, informative, she guides you through wonderful sights with great expertise yet keeps it fun. Perfect. Five stars is not enough.

“A great introduction to Tokyo ”
Had a great time meeting Kahoko. We visited a number of places and Kahoko was full of interesting knowledge of the areas. She also gave me great information for accessing the Shinkansen at Tokyo Station which made my later journey to Osaka very easy. I would highly recommend Kahoko if you are looking for a guide to introduce you to Tokyo.

Kahoko K.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! It was encouraging me and gave me another motivation for my job. I had such a lovely time with you. I learned many new things about London from you. It was really interesting. I was wondering how your rest of journey was going. Probably, you walked a lot, bought a lot, and enjoyed a lot because you were very focused on what to do and never wasted time. I hope you have another chance to come to Japan . There more to see. Until then, please take care !
