“Pleasant trip for first timer”
Etsu was an amazing guide in Tokyo. She picked me up directly at my hotel, which made everything very easy, especially since it was my first time in Japan. We visited Tsukiji Market and Tokyo Skytree, and she made getting around Tokyo simple and pleasant. We also stopped for matcha ice cream and had a few meals along the way, unagi, dango etc. I had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo for the first time. Thank you!!

Thank you for your comment. I was so happy to guide you and enjoy girls' talk. Also it was precious time for drinking beer together. You were so cute and had a great sense of humor. Also, you looked like you were having fun, especially when you were browsing the Soramachi area. If you have a chance to come again, let's go bar hopping at night. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Once again, thank you for coming all the way to Japan.

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.
