“Knowledgable, Personable Guide in Tokyo!”
My teen son and I took a tour of the Tsukiji Market and Sensou-ji Temple in Asakusa with Tomoko. Tomoko met us in our hotel lobby, and balanced historical information with traditions and local knowledge along the way. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable time with Tomoko!

“Perfect Guide for Tokyo!”
My husband and I were lucky to be guided by Tomoko during our recent trip to Tokyo. On two half-day-tours she showed us a whole lot of fascinating landmarks such as Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, Omotesando, Ueno, Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa. She knows everything about history, culture, food etc. and with her help we discovered so many things we would never have noticed on our own. Her timing and navigation were perfect, and though we walked a lot it was never exhausting as she took care to include some relaxing strolls through Tokio's beautiful parks. She also went out of her way to help us with some unusual shopping (musical instruments). Thank you, Tomoko, for a delightful and memorable experience!
