“Amazing Day”
Taka was so lively and knowledgeable. We had a great day and he was extremely flexible and accommodating to our last minute changes. Would highly recommend him for anyone - bonus points if you are into wine and want to discuss with him!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Debby! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. The cherry blossoms were gorgeous under the blue sky — I’m glad we got to see them together. Hope the rest of your travels are just as lovely :)

“Authentic Japan ”
When I decided to come to Japan I didn't want to simply do all the usual activities tourists did. I'd already been to Japan 3 times to play Judo. I wanted to experience Japan the way the Japanese do. Taka was a rock star! He arrived at the hotel and straight away we were brothers, it was raining and the hotel kindly loaned me an umbrella, but the rain just made Tokyo more authentic. Taka navigated the subway like a pro. He taught me the history of Tokyo and we visited the social hotspots popular in Japan yet not swamped with tourists. Though we did visit the famous attractions Tokyo had to offer. Including making an offering at the Shinto shrine, which I had never done. I even met a tourist from New Zealand my country We visited coffee shops and ate at a busy Sushi restaurant, where Taka made sure I got value for my money. I will never forget that day it rained in Tokyo! I didn't feel like a tourist I felt like part of Tokyo and that is what I wanted. I got to do some shopping and took lots of photos. It was such a good way to see Tokyo and makes me want to come back for more.

Taka's Tokyo Hipster Winery Tour
You might think, “Winery in Tokyo?” But the history of winemaking in Japan started in the 19th century. High-quality wines are produced in Japan and some labels have won the gold medal at an international wine competition in France. Let me introduce you a wine tour in Tokyo. The wineries are small. There are no vineyards. But it can be enjoyed as a half day fun trip inside Tokyo.
