“Family vacation to Tokyo”
Booked a two-day tour with Akira to kick off our Tokyo adventure. From the moment we met him, Akira impressed us with his excellent English and warm, personable nature, especially with our two daughters, who instantly felt at ease with him. He was incredibly patient, answered all our questions thoughtfully, and knew how to navigate the city with precision. Thanks to his deep knowledge of Tokyo and efficient planning, Akira curated the perfect balance between iconic sightseeing and authentic, local hidden gems. Every stop felt intentional and memorable, never rushed or overwhelming. Thank you, Akira! You truly made our time special and memorable. We highly recommend Akira to anyone looking for an outstanding and truly personalized tour experience.

“Amazing Experience Made Possible by an Outstanding Guide”
Akira is an outstanding guide that we highly recommend for your own trip to Japan. Over the course of 3 days with Akira, he took the time to get to know us individually and what are interests are, so he could tailor our experience to our individual needs. He really knows the city and surrounding areas inside and out, and was able to take us to all the places we wanted, as well as introduce us to special locations we didn’t know about. His knowledge of off-the-beaten-path places to get food exposed us to the best in Japanese cuisine. He shared with us his knowledge of Shinto and Buddhist practices, which made our visits to the shrines so much more meaningful and personal than simple sight-seeing. We learned how to navigate the city and the local customs so that we felt comfortable and competent in Japan. And Akira took pictures of us the entire time, capturing candid moments that we would have otherwise missed. This allowed us to focus on what was going on around us, instead of constantly getting distracted by taking pictures. When we said our goodbyes on the last day, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend, and hoped that we would meet again someday.

“Best Tour Guide”
Akira is a great tour guide, communication from the start was excellent. The places we saw on the tour were great, all done at an easy pace. We wouldn't have discovered the areas ourselves, in the 4 days in Tokyo. Akira also took us on the trains to get around, and explained how it all operates. Which we continued to use ourselves during our stay, with confidence. At the end Akira sent us lots of photos he took of us throughout the day, which was a fantastic memory to have.
