“Tokyo in one day!”
Myself and a friend had a fantastic day with Michiko from start to finish. She was able to answer all questions we had, she is a real fountain of Japanese knowledge. We wanted to do less touristy things and Michiko organized a beautiful lunch and took us to many spots that we would never have found on our own. Navigating Tokyo is a very daunting experience but having Michiko for the day was a great move as we managed to see a lot within our time!

Dear Glenn and Emmy, Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. I tried to accommodate your requests and created a somewhat tight schedule. I'm happy that we were able to visit all of them and knew you were satisfied with my tour. I also enjoyed our lunch at the charming restaurant founded by a kabuki actor. Please enjoy the rest of the days in Japan! I hope you will come back to Japan again and contact me. I am sure you will discover something new. Take care, Michiko

“Yokohama city”
Our 2nd day with Michiko was wonderful too. We were able to see sights that we wouldn't have seen otherwise if we'd planned to do it ourselves. Just took all the stress out of it when someone knows the place so well and how to get around best. The Sankeien garden was beautiful and the view from the Land Mark tower amazing. Thank you Michiko, so grateful for our 2 day tour with you.

Dear Katie and Murray, Thank you for sending two reviews for each day. It's been a long time since I brought guests to Yokohama, even though I used to live there. So, I enjoyed it as much as you did. I hope you enjoy the cruise over Japan and Jeju Island! Michiko

“Amazing first day in Tokyo ”
We had an amazing first day in Japan, Tokyo with Michiko our guide. We loved being shown and learning about the Meiji Jingu Shrine, the Imperial Palace garden and the Akakura & Sensoji Temples. Michiko put us at ease getting on trains and looked after our every need. She is a lovely kind lady with a good sense of humor.

Must see places in Tokyo
This tour covers major sightseeing spots, Tsukiji outer-Market, Hamarikyu traditional garden, and Asakusa in 5 hours. The outer market has many retail shops and sushi restaurants, so you can still enjoy the bustling market street. After feeling the energy of the market, we move to a beautiful traditional garden, Hamarikyu. It was once a palace and garden of Tokugawa shoguns. From the garden, we ride on a water bus that runs to Asakusa. Please enjoy a one-hour Sumida river cruise to Asakusa.
