“Shizuko went ABOVE and BEYOND!”
From the moment we met Shizuko she was easy to get along with and we knew we’d have a fantastic day in Tokyo. She messaged me on WhatsApp before she arrived. She provided me with a map of the Tokyo metro along with maps of Ginza and detailed instructions on how to reach all the spots we had tickets for on the days we weren’t with her. If it wasn’t for her, we would’ve been lost in the labyrinth that is the underground. She explained everything very thoroughly, circled spots on the map and wrote our excursion names at the corresponding metro spots. I pretty much mastered the Tokyo metro because of her extremely detailed and very thorough instructions. We covered a lot of ground with her and she provided customs and historical information at sites she took us to. She planned a sushi spot for our lunch so we weren’t standing around figuring out where to go for a party of 8. We were very happy with the sushi. She adjusted timing as needed when we wanted to stop to shop a bit. She even took us to get SUICA cards for the kids and helped us get 48-hour metro tickets for the duration of our time in Tokyo. This was something above and beyond what I expected a guide to do. Even after we parted ways, she messaged every day we were in Tokyo and even called one day to ensure we knew how to get to our excursions, took pictures of what to look for, altered directions as needed, etc. As I mentioned she went way above and beyond. She was STELLAR and it provided us such a great start to our first visit to Japan! We loved our time with Shizuko and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a great guide experience in Tokyo! And her English was great! She also took many pictures of us and for us and sent them all via WhatsApp soon after we departed! I cannot say enough great things about her. BOOK HER and look no further!

Dear Zalina, Thank you very much for your great and heart felt review for me. I’m really glad to receive it. I’m so happy to know that you were able to get to TeamLab, Ginza Mitsukoshi Aquarium, Tokyo Red Tower Digital Adventure and many other places by yourselves on your free days in Tokyo. It’s amazing that you really understood/mastered Tokyo’s transportation network well and worked as a leader of the group of 8 people including 3 small children. My ideal guide is that everyone, who participate my tour, can freely enjoy Tokyo sightseeing by themselves after the tour. Before starting the tour, I thought that the little children would be a little tired because of the walking distance, but no way, they were more energetic than adults. By the way, how was Osaka? Did you try Tako-yaki (Octopus balls)? Osaka has full of charms that are different from Tokyo, and other cities as well. If you have a chance, please visit Japan again in the future. It was really nice meeting all of you !!! Thank you again, I was encouraged with your review very much. Kind regards, Shizuko

“Best. Guide. Ever.”
Shizuko is the kindest guide you could get. Knowledgeable, attentive, patient and just overall lovely. She tailored the itinerary exactly to our liking and even catered to our diet restrictions. Thank you for today, Shizuko, a most memorable and wonderful day in Kamakura.
Shizuko T.
Dear Tana, Thank you very much for sending me such a heartfelt review. I’m so glad to received it. I felt so happy that you’re interested in Japanese history, culture and tradition and enjoyed the Kamakura tour. Another amazing thing that surprised me was your husband is a professional golfer of the PGA America. It was really an honor to meet him. Please enjoy visiting various places and having many nice experiences the rest of your trip in Japan. Thank you very much for hiring me as your guide in Kamakura. Best regards, Shizuko

“An excellent day in Tokyo with Ɓ Susie”
We strongly recommend choosing Susie as your tour guide. She has a passion for history and shows through her story telling and facts throughout Tokyo. She was very personable and accommodating especially with our tween son. We enjoyed spending time with her, thank you Susie, we won't forget our time with you!
Shizuko T.
Dear Julie, Thank you very much for your kind review. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with me. How was Hakone, Kyoto and Hiroshima? I hope you enjoyed there as well. Please give my best regard to your husband and goodlooking son. I was really surprised that he pronounced Japanese well. Please do his best and continue to study Japanese. I also do my best to become better at English. It was really nice meeting you. Thank you for choosing me as your guide. Best regards, Shizuko (Susie)
