“Wonderful 2 days in Tokyo ”
Three of us had 2 days to spend touring Tokyo. We had the honor and delight of being shown Tokyo highlights by Michiko. She was extremely knowledgeable, very patient, and accommodating. We appreciated that she was willing and able to adjust our schedule according to our whims. Michiko knows the city well and provided us with excellent instructions on using the train system. When we had special requests for shopping needs she guided us to quality shops without hesitation. We highly recommend Michiko as a guide and will hire her when we return to Japan.
