"Thank you very much for your gracious review, despite the unfortunate cancellation of the tour due to your wife's health condition. It was truly regrettable, as I believe guiding the Dominic family would have been an immensely enjoyable experience. I sincerely hope she makes a swift and full recovery, and that you are able to make the most of your time in Japan. I can only imagine how disappointing this must have been for Dominic family as well."

“Enjoyable relaxed walking tour”
I had arrived a day before a 16 day tour that I was going on, so wanted to see something other than sights I would cover in my long tour. Tomoko spent time understanding what I was interested in. We had a very enjoyable and relaxed 3 hour walk during which time Tomoko shared some history and cultural information. We came upon a couple of galleries and small local shops which was lovely, as well as seeing some major sights. I would recommend taking a tour with Tomoko. Thank you Tomoko!!

Thank you for everything and have a wonderful tour in Japan! Tomoko
