“Tokyo History and Food with Akira”
We had a great trip to the Tsujiki fish market where we tried fresh and fatty tuna sashimi and then a sake flight where we learned about the new styles of sake trending. Lunch was a delicious bowl of wavy noodle ramen. Then to Asakusa where we saw a Buddhist and Shinto temple and learned about their history. Akira is a great guide and a friendly person who we enjoyed spending the day with.

Enjoy Kabuki tomorrow and you should check the performance of Bando Tamasaburo who is one of the best actor in Kabuki's history. Enjoy delicious sushi for your last dinner in Tokyo, not only just tuna and salmon but also any other fish that the chef recommends. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the days in Japan fully! Im looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
“Akira was a FANTASTIC guide!!”
Akira helped us make the most out of our 2 days in Tokyo, showing us around both well known tourist high lights and more off the beaten path, local neighborhoods and experiences. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and flexible— I have already recommended him to friends that are traveling to Japan this summer. He was in touch to ask questions and set up an itinerary as soon as we had booked the dates, and his suggestions based on our interests were spot on! Thanks again Akita, from Laura, Eric and Lucas

(295 reviews)Dear Laura, Thank you so much for the great review. I had such a wonderful day with you and your wonderful family in Tokyo in spring, and I am so glad that you felt the same way. We could see early cherry blossoms, fun exchange with locals. I felt so happy to see you all enjoying each moment and also, I felt so lucky that I could find this job, being a guide. Thank you so much for giving me another reason why I don’t want to quit this fun job. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira P.S. Thank you so much for introducing me to your friends.Ill be happy to hear from them.
“Knowledgeable and very personable guide!”
We booked with Akira for 2 days at the start of our trip to Tokyo. We were able to visit the major sites on our priority list and this included changing the itinerary around last minute because of bad weather. The Meiji Shrine will stand out as an unexpected highlight because of the understanding and the experience we got from Akira guiding us through participating in the symbolic aspects of the visit. He also helped us scratch our foodie itches with local tips to places. And he helped us navigate the maze of a transit subway system in the city (that alone is reason for a guide!). Would recommend Akira without any hesitation to anyone visiting Tokyo for the first time!

(295 reviews)Dear Anna, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad that your very first full days were pleasant and enjoyable one. I had had a feeling that we would have a good times since I met you, and wonderful Joe, exchanging just few words at the lobby of the hotel. It's nice to know that you seemed to wanted me not only to just guide but also adding more human touch, or local flavor, on our tour visiting popular sites. It is always my pleasure to show what it is like to be a local (our behavior, food cultures, etc..) to my clients, especially to people like you, who see things as it is. I believe I tried myself as sincere as possible and being as what I am, and I felt that you two did the same to me, quite naturally. I believe that is why we were able to have a great time. Thank you so much for having me as your guide this time, and thank you so much for letting be me throughout the tour. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
