Book Mutoh for an incredible experience!

Mutoh was an amazing guide and I couldn't recommend him more! We had the best (half) day with him and his tour was one of the highlights of our trip. He really goes above and beyond. It was a fun, informative day. Thank you, Mutoh!

Dawn san, Thank you so much for warm words! It was really fun to guide your happy family and I appreciate you to give me that opportunity. I believe you've spent great time in rest of your travel in Japan. Please come Japan again someday!

Fun day with Mutoh

Mutoh was a great tour guide. We planned this on our first day. It was nice to have a local show you around and help you get comfortable being in Japan. He met us early at our hotel and we toured around the fish market, Meiji shrine and then left off at Harajuku. Mutoh was very kind and knowledgeable. He also captured a bunch of photos and videos to share with us!

Alison san, Thank you so much for your warm and lovely comment! Did you find something interesting in your following tour to Shimokitazawa & Gotokuji? I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed my tour and actually I enjoyed as well to guide your lovely family. Please come Japan again and let me guide you again!

Knew the city well....great local insight...good English skills

Mutoh was consistent and reliable on our pre meeting conversations. I had to change my hotel two times and he did not flinch. He made great choices on maximizing our time there and was of immense help on us understanding our next twelves days in Japan. I have been a guide for over sixteen years and it is through this lens that I highly recommend him. Should I come back for a future visit I will mostly certainly look for him to guide us.
