“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.

Promenade--from Tokyo Station to the Imperial Palace
Without any doubt, this is one of the most beautiful promenades in Japan, and also, especially historical road. At first sight, it doesn't look a lot of historical signs concealed. I'll tell you such secrets of this promenade taking a stroll on this road. There's no splendid palace like Versailles, but we can find remains of "Castle" in many places. That's the secret of this road because It's the scene of Japanese revolution, a dramatic and irreversible social change llike French revolution.
