“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.

“tour of hakone”
Although we enjoyed seeing the highlights of Hakone - our guide did not add anything to the experience except to help us b navigate from one sight to another. I think touring Hakone does not need a guide and unfortunately our experience of a guided tour was expensive for simply having an experienced guide navigate for us but provide absolutely no input or information. a very expensive but no value tour.
Yuka S.
I don't think Hakone tour is no value tour. Unfortunately on that day, you didn't see Mt. Fuji due to the weather and you were not satisfied with the tour, but this is a customized tour so you can visit any place you like and most of my guests are happy to go around with me and listen to explanations of Hakone's geography and history.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
