“First Day Tour of Tokyo”
This was our first trip to Japan. On our first full day in Tokyo we did a full day city tour with Taka. It was an excellent orientation to Tokyo. We toured four very distinct districts of the city. It was very time efficient to have Taka guide us through the subway system to areas we never would have found on our own. Taka is very personable and speaks great English. Highly recommend this tour!

“Crowning conclusion to our Trip to Japan thanks to Taka”
After my son and I had to cancel our first tour with Taka due to illness, we fortunately had the opportunity to reschedule the tour at the end of our trip to Japan. Taka is a great tour guide. He is very friendly, professional and responded to our wishes one hundred percent. Even short-term changes were no problem for him. We had a great day in Shibuy and Akihabara and learned a lot about the lives of young Japanese people. Thank you very much Taka, we will be back and Lennart is already planning a study year abroad in Japan.

“A great tour even though it rained all day ”
Taka is a great guide and I highly recommend booking a tour with him. He is knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, and is a pleasant person to spend the day with. It rained the entire day of our tour but we still enjoyed it thanks to Taka.
