“Full day tour in Tokyo ”
The tour was an incredible experience! My husband and I had already explore some of Tokyo the day before and Michiko was able to personalize the tour that morning. Michiko was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and helped work with the vendors in Japanese in some markets. She was very personable and made the tour extra special!

“ A special introduction to Tokyo.”
A lovely two days guiding us around some of Tokyo’s treasures. The highlight was being at the Shinto fire ceremony as well as a special sushi lunch at the fish market .

Dear Elizabeth and David, Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed two days in Tokyo with me. Yes, the fire ceremony in Fukagawa-fudoson is special. Getting a fire ceremony on your belongings seemed to work, and you drove a car safely. But what made me really happy was the time we finally met together this year. Take care, Michiko

“Tokyo in one day!”
Myself and a friend had a fantastic day with Michiko from start to finish. She was able to answer all questions we had, she is a real fountain of Japanese knowledge. We wanted to do less touristy things and Michiko organized a beautiful lunch and took us to many spots that we would never have found on our own. Navigating Tokyo is a very daunting experience but having Michiko for the day was a great move as we managed to see a lot within our time!
Michiko M.
Dear Glenn and Emmy, Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. I tried to accommodate your requests and created a somewhat tight schedule. I'm happy that we were able to visit all of them and knew you were satisfied with my tour. I also enjoyed our lunch at the charming restaurant founded by a kabuki actor. Please enjoy the rest of the days in Japan! I hope you will come back to Japan again and contact me. I am sure you will discover something new. Take care, Michiko
