Taka's Tokyo Hipster Winery Tour
You might think, “Winery in Tokyo?” But the history of winemaking in Japan started in the 19th century. High-quality wines are produced in Japan and some labels have won the gold medal at an international wine competition in France. Let me introduce you a wine tour in Tokyo. The wineries are small. There are no vineyards. But it can be enjoyed as a half day fun trip inside Tokyo.

“Wonderful two-day personalized tour with Taka M.”
Taka is an amazing guide. We had some very fluctuating weather and Taka kept an eye on it and made timing adjustments to our schedule so that we could see inside sights when there was a downpour and take full advantage of the sunny and drizzly parts to enjoy the outside sights. He brought my teenager and I everywhere on our list and added in so much more. We would not have been able to attempt such an ambitious schedule on our own. He was funny, kind and knowledgeable and provided plenty of information while also giving us time to spend on our own as we had requested. After two days with Taka, we even felt comfortable navigating Tokyo on our own. Definitely book with Taka M!

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review! This tour was a meaningful challenge for me as well. Rather than just explaining things, I wanted you to experience them and discover them for yourselves — and it truly became that kind of journey. I’m very happy to hear that both of you enjoyed it. Now that the typhoon has passed, I hope your travels continue to be full of fun and great memories!

“Amazing Local Experience!”
Booking this "As you like" tour with Taka was hands down one of the best decisions of my trip! Taka is an incredibly wise and friendly guide who really goes out of his way to show you Tokyo from a true local's perspective. Thanks to him, I saw some absolutely beautiful sights that I would have completely missed on my own, without feeling like a typical tourist. Taka also took me to experience some real, authentic sushi—which was amazing—and I even got to try some fantastic local sake. It was the perfect blend of culture, incredible food, and great company. If you want a genuine, unforgettable day in Japan with a guide who truly knows his stuff, I cannot recommend Taka enough!

“Fantastic day out in Tokyo!”
We had an amazing day going round Tokyo with our guide Taka. Communication was very good prior to the tour and was tailored to our requirements. Taka explained lots about culture and getting around the very busy city of Tokyo. Would highly recommend Taka to anyone who visits Tokyo. Karl & Lynn

Dear Karl and Lynn, Thank you very much for writing a review. If your stay in Japan — including the cruise — turned out to be a wonderful experience, that truly makes me happy. Your next adventure might take you Down Under, but I hope you’ll visit Tokyo again. I would be delighted to welcome you back.
