“An amazing introduction to Tokyo - HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!”
We did an all day tour if Tokyo with Ken (with his wife driving). This was our first day of exploring Tokyo after attending a conference for a few days. It was such a fantastic way to get to know the city and to learn about its cultures and customs. We loved everything about it - the Sky tower, a cruise through some local shops, a beautiful lunch, the main shrine, the matcha tea ceremony and Hama-rikyu gardens. It was wonderful to learn from Ken about the cultural practices at the shrine and this gave us a real insight that we were able to use for the remainder of our travels throughout Japan. Doing the driving tour was perfect for us as it was so time efficient, enabling us to cover a lot of ground in this VERY busy city. Ken and his wife were an absolute delight to spend time with and we very much felt like we were being introduced to this fabulous city by proud locals. He is also a fabulous photographer - it certainly beats doing selfies (thanks Ken!). Thank you very much Ken and Shanko for a wonderful introduction to your fabulous country.
