Lovely time with Chiaki

My husband and I had a lovely time with Chiaki. We saw a range of sights and were able to “see” much more than we could have on our own. If you are traveling to Japan for the first time, I highly recommend at least one experience with a guide to orient yourself. Tha n you Chiaki!

Chiaki K.

Dear Jill, thank you so much for posting a wonderful review! I really enjoyed being with you, talking about our countries and lives like eating lunch in a class is allowed or not. I'm looking forward to meeting you next time and talking about Haruki Murakami again! Thank you!

An amazing guide

Ms. Chiaki is definitely one of, if not the best guides I've had. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She even helped with my Japanese. Any request you have, she'll do her best to accommodate. She can also help with obtaining Suica, Pasmo, JR Pass, etc.

Kenneth さん、すばらしいコメントをありがとう!your language skill is amazing! I can’t believe that you learned Japanese by yourself. We had good time talking in English and in Japanese. I’m glad to know that you and I like the same things such as cats and okonomiyaki. I hope you spend good time in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto and Osaka. Thank you!

Great time with Chiaki

We took 2 separate tours as we wanted to explore different areas of Tokyo. Chiaki was always on time and ever so friendly. Her tours were very informative and assisted in not only showing us around but explains the thinking . Chiaki also helped us with our overall plans such as arranging train tickets and showing us around the underground. Chiaki Is a lovely , happy and informative guide. Would book her without hesitating.

Chiaki K.

Thank you Ran, for taking time to write the fantastic comment! I was glad to get the e-mail from Anna and hear that both of you enjoyed Sumo yesterday. I appreciate for your kind support when I lost my iPad. Including this trouble, the time we spent together is unforgettably precious for me. We had a lot of fun together. I hope you and Anna are enjoying Hakone now. Thank you again!

Wonderful day with Chiaki

We had a fabulous day with Chiaki. It was our third day in Tokyo and Chiaki was very flexible in that we did not know until that day what we had already experienced in the first two days. After meeting that morning she suggested a schedule. And then was able to modify on the fly when our daughter indicated an interest in various things as we were exploring (thrifting, ramen and a hedgehog cafe). Thank you Chiaki for a wonderful day!

Chiaki K.

Dear Susan, thank you for posting a great review! It was my honor to be able to guide a beautiful family like you. Your daughter is very cute! I hope you enjoy a precious time to travel with her and have fun in the rest of the trip in Japan. I’m sure you had good time in Kyoto and Kanazawa. I hope that her academic work in Amsterdam will be successful. Thank you Susan for the wonderful day!
