“The absolute best guide in Japan—felt like family ”
Dai made our Japan trip extraordinary. Even before we arrived, his communication was outstanding—when we weren’t sure we could travel due to a hospital issue, he was supportive, understanding, and kindly kept our spot open. Once in Japan, he arrived at our hotel at the agreed time and immediately made us feel like he was more like a member of our family than our guide. His English is excellent, and he was endlessly patient with our many personal questions as we wanted to really get to know him. He went above and beyond: pre‑booking our brewery visit, guiding us through and showing us how to use the subway, translating at a flea market, and even watching over my grown kids so we could enjoy a peaceful tea break. If you’re booking through GetYourGuide, request Dai. He turns a great vacation into something unforgettable. We will truly miss him and cannot thank him enough for his excellent services.

Thank you for your detailed review and I want to thank all of your family! I was also happy to accommodate you this time and I believe we spent a wonderful time in both local and must-see places in the same day. I truly hope you enjoy everything about Japan. Of course not only Tokyo! I would like you to love the rest of Japan as well :)

“Shinjuku, Shiyuba and Harajuku”
Our family had a great day exploring western Tokyo with Dai. Dai led us to many places we could never have found on our own, and a great lunch too. The kids had a great time. Thanks Dai.

“Tokyo Tour with Local Guide ”
Booked Dai for my brother-in-law and he loved it. I booked a one-day tour with Dai for my brother-in-law, who's a huge anime and Pokémon fan. It was the best thing I could have planned for him. Dai tailored the whole day to his interests, from Akihabara's shops and arcades to anything he wanted to stop and see on the way. He handled the trains and translation so my brother-in-law could relax and enjoy it. He came back full of stories and a bag full of merch, and really enjoyed it. Dai was also easy to work with when booking. He was responsive and asked good questions about what my brother-in-law wanted to see. If you're arranging a day for a friend or family member, especially a anime or Pokemon fan, I highly recommend Dai.

Thank you for your kind words and detailed reviews! I am really grateful for the opportunity and we visited several places within 1 day. David had only couple of days but there were so many places to visit. Therefore, I tried to create the best itinerary to make his trip even better. I hope he enjoyed a lot and hopefully, he comes back to Tokyo and meet us in the near future again :)
