“Great Introduction to Tokyo”
We are glad we chose Keiko as our guide for our first day in Tokyo. She proved to be adaptable and knowledgeable, helping us make the most of our limited time in town. First, she saved us from suffering through a rainy morning by proactively recommending a shift in our tour time based on the weather forecast. Then, she adjusted our plans on the fly so we could fit in a visit to Akihabara before our time slot at the Skytree. Throughout, she was well organized and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We also loved that she stopped several times so we could sample Tokyo’s street food! I would gladly recommend her as a guide. She did not earn our top rating only because we had a couple of even more excellent guides (deeper information sharing, more adept at managing mobility limitations) later on our journey. Arigato gozaimasu Keiko, from all three of us, for a helpful introduction to your wonderful city!

(102 reviews)Thank you very much for your great review of my tour. We worried about the weather at first, because the weather forecaster said Tokyo would be affected seriously by typhoon . However fortunately we enjoyed the tour under very comfortable weather by delaying the start time. Each of you had specific requests for our tour: history, food, shopping at Kappabashi. I was happy to see you challenging new experiences and tasting "OISHII" food. I hope you will come back to Japan and find something interesting again. Arigato Gozaimashita!!
“Insider view of Tokyo ”
We had a wonderful day with Kieko. She selected a perfect tour for us and was able to answer all our many questions on Japan history, culture and society. As our visit was very short, she helped provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of all we saw. Thank you Kieko!

(102 reviews)Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. We visited both traditional and modern places in Tokyo, Ueno, Yanaka & Harajuku. We walked slowly to enjoy the atmosphere, buying "senbei"(rice cracker), visiting a sophisticated Japanese private house, seeing micro pigs, having soba noodle lunch ...etc. It was my pleasure to exchange opinions about a lot of things. Arigato Gozaimashita!!
“Great first day in Tokyo”
Our tour with Keiko was a great way to start our trip to Tokyo. We appreciated her help navigating the fish market to select the best stalls. We were able to customize and adjust the tour for our needs throughout the day.
