“Just Lovely ”
We had a wonderful day and it was all thanks to her excellent insight of being prepared for what the day was going to be like for us. She knew it was a holiday weekend, warned us to expect crowds & perfectly managed to still get us to see so much! We truly appreciate her hospitality, kindness & flexibility! You will be lucky enough to experience a day with her warmth, knowledge of Japan and her overall love of life and true love of what she does! We are not easy to please and have high expectations and she surpassed all of ours! We can’t wait to visit again and have another day with her! Cheers to your adventures! Alexis C

Hi Alexis, Thank you for taking the time to write such an excellent review. Your review makes me happy and reminds me of all of your faces. Yes, your requested date was during the golden week. It was the busiest time in Japan. Luckily, we were able to see major sightseeing spots in Kamakura. I look forward to seeing you again in Japan! Best wishes, Michiko

“Saw so much with our full-day tour!”
Michiko arranged the perfect full-day tour for us. We saw all the highlights of Tokyo and she helped us navigate the Metro. If you are short on time, this is a great option. If you have more time, it will help you decide what more to see. Michiko was a great introduction to this beautiful city.

“Amazing experience”
Couldn’t put into words how much of a great time we had! Michiko showed us around Shinjuku, all the shopping centers, had great street food, and ended our tour with some bar hopping over at Golden Gai. We shared some great stories & great laughs together. Amazing experience!
