A once in a lifetime experience! Shibamata with Yuko - san

Shibamata hasn't been discovered and overwhelmed with tourists as Asakusa has. It's got an amazing old Buddhist temple approached via a street lined with traditional restaurants and shops that take you back in time. Yuko- san knows the area and the local vendors well and ensures you have a marvelous experience. A 10 out of 10!

John R.

John san Thank you for your nice comment. I am glad that you enjoyed my tour. You speak very good japanese and know our culture well and made me feel as if i was with a Japanese friend! Arigatou gozaimasu. Yuko

Yuko is an excellent guide

Yuko met us at our hotel and guided us to the Japan Rail Station and arranged tickets. We travelled about 40 minutes to a tradtional Japanese town, then Yuko guided us to a 1600s Buddist Temple, still with worshippers attending, Then a pleasant Japanese lunch. Yuko put on a train that returned us near to our hotel. Yuko's English is excellent and we enjoyed an Ausrralian-Japaner cultural exchange Unreservedly recommended. Chris Mills

Best recommended tour for the first-time visitor to Tokyo. Tokyo is a unique city with various traditional and contemporary attractions. Let’s create your personalized time in Tokyo by discussing the places you want to visit. You should plan a tour of different sites, such as Kamakura and Hakone, along with my other plan. I am based in Tokyo, but I would happily arrange your tour.
