“First time visit to Japan ”
This was our very first time visiting Japan. Kono made sure that our first visit went smoothly. He's an excellent tour guide. He was very prompt, organized, and courteous. We had a very tight timeline. He made sure that we were able to fit in everything that we planned. He was also good with giving suggestions. I would definitely hire him again. Kono made our first visit to Japan a positive experience!

“Much respect to Mr Noburo!”
Kono San was helpful with directing me around Tokyo. He informed me about Japanese history, food and culture. He was very patient, easy going and hard working. I would recommend him to other tourists.

“Excellent guide in Tokyo ”
Kono San was an excellent guide for our family for 3 days. He was informative and all the information (whilst not extensive), was precise and given in small bits for us to easily understand. He was incredibly flexible and understanding with our schedule. Loved the photos he took along the way and the interesting sites he added. He was great with our kids and very patient. He is highly efficient and if you have a short time in Tokyo, using him is highly recommended. I suggest you figure out what you want to do and he will make it happen!

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
