You never see Tokyo until you see Edo. By joying the tour, you will experience the present Japanese culture, history, the way of thinking, and a sense of beauty developed from the Edo period. I am sure I provides you with the most impressive tour.
In 1603 the first Tokugawa shogun, established the Edo government. This is the beginning of Edo, From then on, Tokyo's history & Tokyo culture started.

“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 One-day As You Like with Kaori
This tour fits all, from first timers to repeaters who love local experiences. You can choose what you like from spots listed, or I can pick up for you if you don't have clue. Just let me know your preferences. I can make a good combination of old and modern, major and local. Tokyo has a lot more besides the list. As full day tour (up to 8h), please pick up 3 or 4 spots. Or you can request specific spot not on the list. "Enjoy together with fun learning" is what you can expect with me.
