Akira was more than we could have hoped for in a guide. He is thoughtful, friendly, and very knowledgeable about both Tokyo and Japanese history. He was very focused on showing us behind-the-scenes Tokyo, in addition to the popular guide book areas. He even took us to a bespoke tailor, and helped my son buy a kimono, which would have been difficult without him. In short, you can feel comfortable putting your tour in Akira’s hands, as he will NOT disappoint!
Akira was an excellent guide. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and considerate. He ensured I had as local an experience as possible, and it was wonderful. I always believe that to truly see a city you need to see from the eyes of a local, and Akira made sure I was able to do that. I would happily hire Akira again. I had no complaints.
Dear Ash, Thank you so much for the great review. I’m so happy to know that you could feel what it is like to be a local in Tokyo. I am wishing that your this very first trip to Japan will be a memorable one with full of discoveries. I am really looking forward to the next chance to explore my loving city with you. Sincerely, Akira
We have had guides all around the worrld and Akira was as as concerned about meeting our needs as any and did whatever he could to adjust. He guided us for two days. He is knowledgeable and did his homework to meet our cultural and culinary needs. He was very flexible. We had a misunderstanding and handled it professionally and with great sincerity. Akira is easy to understand and a very nice guy. I recommend him with great enthusiasm and without reservation.
Dear David, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy that you enjoyed 2 days with me. From the time we were planning the tours, I was hoping that I could give you the idea of what it is like to be one of locals in this city and I am so glad that it was successfully done and we had a great time. Thank you so much for your comment on my being nice guy. I just can’t help being nice guy to nice people like you and Shelly. I am wishing that you have a great time for the rest of your Japan trip. I’m looking forward to the next chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
Akira San is a wonderful guide who pays attention to the needs of the group and ensures everyone has a great time! I highly recommend him as a tour guide in Tokyo. He is both knowledgeable and friendly. You can’t go wrong having him as your guide! By the way, our group ranged in age from 11 to 44!
