“A wonderful and insightful day ”

We had a day tour with Akira on our first day in Tokyo. I would 1000% recommend Akira to anyone who is looking for a local guide. He entirely customizes the tour to your interests and requests. We had a wonderful time touring at a comfortable pace, got to see areas we would never know of ourselves and eat at really cool local spots. Akira also recommended some things to us to do later and places to visit, which were all great hits! Definitely couldn’t recommend him more

Akira N.

Dear Yulia, Thank you so much for the great review. It was so much fun to guide you and your wonderful husband, Andrew. I hope the tour was a good show case of Tokyo, visiting different neighborhoods, a quiet residential neighborhood, vibrant local district, and the area of hustling and bustling. And also, I hope you make a great family with full of love and happy laughter. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Great day with Akira ”

We had a great tour with Akira! We asked him to show us interesting areas of Tokyo outside of the typical tourist attractions, and he delivered. The pace was leisurely, but we still had time to stop at various points of interest that we saw along the way. We ate like a local at a small restaurant and even stopped at a fruit stand and enjoyed a pear and a persimmon which the owners peeled and sliced for us. Not only was Akira knowledgeable and attentive, his English is also excellent. You can't go wrong with Akira; highly recommend!

Akira N.

Dear Kevin, Thank you so much fro the great review. I am so glad you enjoyed the day. I hope that you got the idea of what it is like to be one of the locals in this city through subways and street car rides, browsing at the local bookshop, enjoying lunch at local place we went, talking with the grandma at the fruit shop, and wandering about sketchy (!) neighborhood in Shinjuku. It was my pleasure to be a guide for wonderful people like you and Julie. Thank you so much for having me this time, and I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Had a great day! ”

We enjoyed our full day tour with Akira. It was nice to hear about the practices and traditions at the shrines from a local. He went out of his way to take us to many spots in Tokyo that we could not have found without a guide. He was so pleasant and easy to talk to. We enjoyed our day!

Akira N.

Dear Jenni, I enjoyed the full day too, and it was nice to hear about your country, people, culture, etc. I hope that you got the idea of what it is like to be a Tokyo local, finding we all have something in common. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
