“Great experience of must see sites on day of arrival”
I had a wonderful guided tour in Tokyo. We visited the beautiful Meiji Jingu Shrine, explored the lively Harajuku area including Takeshita Street and Omotesando, and even enjoyed a great coffee break together. Shinya was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel effortless. From navigating public transport to sharing fascinating local insights. It was the perfect mix of culture, fun, and authentic Tokyo life. Highly recommended!

“Architecture of Tokyo”
I had a very pleasant morning with Shinya in Tokyo. He showed me many buildings that I would not have found walking on my own, and gave me information about them and the architects. He pointed out unusual features of the buildings that I had missed, and even gave me a presentation that I can refer to now that I'm home. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
