“2 Full Memorable Days Off The Beaten Track in Tokyo”
We spent 2 full days with Akira after a late decision to have a guide in Tokyo and we are so glad we did. Our time in Tokyo would never have been so rich and memorable without him. We asked him to show us more of the traditional Tokyo and, as well as seeing some of the more popular sights, he took us away from the centre to see where and how the locals live. We had some great food and tried the Tokyo monjayaki, better than its Osaka cousin, okonomiyaki, as well as some sake! He also took us to a small boutique coffee shop (Aoyama Coffee Roaster in Yanaka) where we had some hand dripped coffee along with some handmade sweets we bought in a nearby shop. We also managed to buy something in one of the kitchenware shops that we had been searching for at home without success. Akira has excellent English. He is a genuinely great guy, going out of his way to help some other tourists along our route.

Dear Naren, Thank you so much for the great review. It was my pleasure to guide people with good heart like you and Lesley. I’m so happy that everything (weather, color of foliage and etc.) was perfect on those two days. I hope the time that we spent together will be a good introduction of Japan. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time! Akira
“4 wonderful days in Tokyo”
Our family enjoyed 4 wonderful days with Akira . He is an excellent, knowledgeable guide with a passion for all things Tokyo . He is extremely polite and friendly and was only to happy to help out answering all our questions. Even on a day off he was making changes to our restaurant booking!! Could not recommend Akira enough. We were very lucky to have him guide us through busy Tokyo!!

Dear Nick, Thank you so much for the great review. I enjoyed the 4 days with happy laughter and fun questions and answers, and I’m so happy that you felt the same way. It gives me a great feeling to realize that nothing is going wrong when people being sincere, respectful to each other like we were. I am very sure that the rest of your Japan trip will be enjoyable, memorable, and fruitful one for you, and your beautiful family. Akira P.S. Tell your wonderful boys to be careful when they use curse words that I taught them haha.
“Akira was an Incredible Guide”
Akira was the most incredible guide. Although we are well traveled, we decided to use a guide while in Japan because of the language barrier and the complex subway system. This was the first time we have ever used a guide and it was an amazing experience. Akira was easy to work with and came up with an itinerary that meet all our touristy goals. We specifically requested to view and get a feel of “old school” Tokyo as well as modern day Tokyo. Akira made sure to fulfill this request by taking us on a magical adventure throughout the beautiful and expansive city of Tokyo. We visited shrines, temples, the palace, the gaming district, the fashion district, the food markets, and ate some delicious authentic food. Aside from guiding us throughout Tokyo, Akira made sure our trip was well documented by taking numerous photos of us and later sharing these pictures via text. Simply put, Tokyo is now one of our favorite cities thanks to Akira. We are so grateful that we took a chance on Akira and will cherish all our time together in Tokyo—Sean & Kristy Wright

Dear Kristy, Thank you so much for the great review. I feel so happy that your first ever decision of hiring a guide for your travel was not disappointing one, but very good one. It was very nice idea that you kindly hired me for 2days in Tokyo and 1 day for Kyoto, so that I could make it like a good show case of Japan, which is ideal for first timers on Japan trip. I liked the way you and Sean are, and the atmosphere that you two created during the time that we shared. It was my joy and was so much fun for me to guide you two in that warm and happy vibes. I have just viewing some of the photos during the tour and they made me smile. Thank you so much for letting me know that your first Japan trip was so pleasant and memorable, and thank you so much for giving me another reason why I cannot quit this fun job, tour guide. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

Tokyo Must-See tour
You don't have much time in Tokyo? I will show you in 6 hours the Must-See attractions of the city. I will pick you up at your hotel and we will move around on foot using public transport. We will visit Tokyo Must-See places : Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, the outer garden of the Imperial Palace, Meji-jingu shrine and Takeshita street and we will end with the famous Shibuya district.
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.
How about an enjoyable walking in Tokyo?
There are lots of sightseeing spots in Tokyo. I will arrange a customized one-day tour based upon your requirements so that you could enjoy your stay in Tokyo. We can discuss and decide places to visit effectively for a limited amount of time. One example is shown here as follows, but I'm sure I will take you to some of my best selections so that you could enjoy both of traditional and modern culture. I can arrange an appropriate lunch restaurant based upon your requirement.
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 to experience besides the list. As full day tour, 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.
