“Highly Recommended Tour Guide”
Thank you so much for the amazing tour you provided my parents, Keiko. They were so complimentary of your patience, knowledge and enthusiasm in showing them around various sites in Tokyo. It was definitely the highlight of their trip. Everything was so well orchestrated and I especially appreciated the check ins with me to ensure things went smoothly. Highly recommend Keiko!

(95 reviews)Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. It was my pleasure to guide your parents. Your information of your parents was very helpful for me to make the itinerary. I avoided stairs and long-distance walking as much as possible. They were more flexible than I had expected. They respected Japanese culture. They tasted Japanese dishes with chopsticks. I hope they will enjoy the fully bloomed sakura, cherry blossoms, in Hokkaido and go back to their home safely with great memories.
“A delightful guide!”
Keiko was lovely and very informative on the history of Tokyo and Japan. She was very thoughtful on ways to show us things without having to spend extra money (eg view Shibuya Scramble from above when exiting train station rather than paying to go up to a rooftop bar). We highly recommend Keiko!

(95 reviews)Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. You visited both traditional and modern part of Tokyo. You tasted traditional Japanese sweets, red sweet beans, and trendy snack, "melon pan". I was so happy to hear your saying " totemo Oishii". I heartily wish your great days in Japan. Please say hello to your "kawaii" monster and gentlemen.
“Keiko kept us going!”
She was very informative and her English is very good. We did have a few communication difficulties, but nothing important. We had Keiko for three days in Tokyo and she also showed us how easy it is to use the subway in Tokyo. We were so lucky to have got it perfectly for the sakura season this year!

(95 reviews)Thank you very much for your kind message. It was my greatest pleasure to show you Tokyo in full bloom with sakura trees for three days. Especially Chidorigafuchi moat, Shinjukugyoen park and East garden of Imperial Palace were breathtakingly beautiful. However everywhere we visited was so busy that I am afraid I was not able to choose good lunch places for you. I hope all of you would go back to your country only with good memories of Japan. Arigatou !!
