“Unique Experience with great guide”

I highly recommend a food tour in Tokyo with Yuka! She was very easy to coordinate with about the meeting point and my group said it was a real highlight to discover places that they never would have found on their own. They really enjoyed spending time with Yuka too!

Yuka S.

I'd appreciate your comment and am happy to hear your group enjoyed the food tour. They could accept local Yakitori, Gyoza and Izakaya restaurants I recommended in Shibuya and Shinjuku.

“Very nice tour of Hakone”

Yuka gave us a super nice tour of Hakone, starting with a tram ride, gondolas up and down the mountain with a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. We were lucky with the weather as it was sunny with few clouds. Thank Yuka for a lovely day.

Yuka S.

Thank you for your kindness and a nice picture, Marc. Today's Fuji is one of the best and so you were so lucky. I had also a good time with your family. I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Japan.
