At Asakusa, you tasted Ningyo-yaki and prayed your wishes. At Shibuya, you experienced crossing and saw a lot of KAWAII girls. You tasted authentic Japanese style lunch such as YUBA, TEMPULA, TOFU... etc. You learned a new useful word, SUMIMASEN. I hope your days in Japan will be great. Arigato-gozaimashita!!

(108 reviews)Thank you very much for your kind review of my tour. We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy seasonal tastes and view. At Tsukiji fish market, we saw seasonal foods such as Matsutake mushrooms, ginkgo nuts, chrysanthemum petals ...etc. We also saw KAWAII, cute, sweets topped with strawberries or big grapes called "shine muscat". At Asakusa, we strolled Nakamise street decorated with colored leaves. For lunch, we had tempura soba-noodle at a local noodle restaurant. I was so glad that you enjoyed authentic Japanese food saying "OISHI", delicious. I wish your great days in Japan. Arigato!!
“Excellent; very patient; helpful in preparing and planning our visit and additional tasks”
Keiko guided us in Tokyo during our first visit to Japan. We had many questions in the planning stage prior to arriving to Japan, and during our visit. She answered them very patiently, helped us select the Tokyo sites for our guided tour and pleasantly explained the history and tradition in each of them. She accommodated all our request. It was a pleasure to have her as our guide.
