“First evening in Tokyo ”
Maki met us at our hotel (after we had been in Tokyo for only 4hours on our first day of our trip )to guide us to local food and drinks near our hotel. It was a total success as Maki guided us through very busy areas to a great restaurant for tempura/sushi , beers and wine. She was great company (very fluent English) and showed us a lot in a short time which set up our next days in Tokyo. We even went back to the restaurant on our own later in our stay.
