“The Perfect Guide To Help Me Get Started”

I booked a full day with Akira on my first day in Tokyo. I had never been to Japan, and being a solo traveler I didn't want to have to try and figure it all out, especially jet-lagged. I basically asked Akira to be my friend for the day, show me how to get around, and show me places where the tourists don't go. He delivered 110%! I have spent the last two weeks zipping around this amazing city, using the rail system with ease, and seeing all kinds of places where tourists are rare. I have connected with so many people here and have so many stories to bring home and fond memories. I might have eventually figured things out without Akira's help, but I'm sure that I would have wasted a lot of the limited time I had. Thank you Akira! If you are thinking about using him, don't hesitate, you will be glad you did it, just like me! Akira, again, thank you for helping make this such a memorable trip!

Dear Lonnie, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad that the day we spent together made a good kick start for your very first Japan trip. Reading your review, I sensed that the trip was very enjoyable and memorable and it was my pleasure to be a part of it. Amid the ongoing craze of over tourism, it was my joy to be your guide, especially for someone as generous, kind, and respectful of the locals and their culture as you. I want you to know that your friend in Tokyo will always be ready to show you around his loving city, and country, for your next opportunity (maybe with your loving wife). Thank you so much again for having me as your guide this time. See you next time! Sincerely, Akira

“The greatest guide we can ask for!”

It was my first time visiting Tokyo with my fiancé. I booked Akira for a two day personalized tour of the city I could not thank Akira enough for a amazing two days of him showing some of Tokyo’s best places local neighborhoods and so beautiful temples and shrines. I could not forget to mention the amazing food spots he showed us from fresh tuna at the Tsukiji fish market to even my favorite the wagyu beef. His so knowledgeable of Tokyo tells you the history of the sites his guiding through he makes your tour feel so relax and easy to take in all the beauty Tokyo has to offer. If your thinking of booking a guide don’t look anywhere else Akira is the man he will go above and beyond to make your time in Tokyo the best I highly recommend him and I hope to see him again when I go back to visit japan in the near future. Thanks Akira you are the best.

Dear Moses, Thank you so much for the great review. Thank you so much for the wonderful time guiding people who have beautiful spirit like you and Viv. I am so glad that I could be a part of your memorable Japan trip. One of the best part of being guide is to get to know and learn from people from all over the world. I feel that way especially when I found something in common between me and my clients even though we have different cultural backgrounds. Your behavior reminds me that being humble, paying respect to people, being thoughtful, being good observer, is universal virtue. You are such a sweet man and I could see why you and Viv have been together for many years. I am so sure that you two will make a happy family. Thank you so much again for having me for two days. It was my pleasure to show you my favorite things in Tokyo, good foods, good people, and neighborhoods with local Tokyo vibes. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Fantastic guide ”

Traveling back from a ski trip we had a few days to see and experience Tokyo Akira absolutely knocked it out of the park and made our full day fun, fact filled and action packed. He was prompt, kind and thoughtful. He shared history, culture and amazing food He pointed out many nuances of Japanese culture. He planned a great itinerary and he added in additional stops for fun filled day. I would highly recommend him for anyone traveling through alone or with friends and family. A+++. Thanks again

Dear Raifie, Thank you so much for the great review. I really had a wonderful day with the jolly gangs from Colorado. I am so glad you all enjoyed my favorite things, the sashimi (not frozen one!), the roast beef of the Omi beef (which is as par with Kobe's..!), the ramen (which is still making my mouth water...), narrow alleyways etc. I hope the day was good enough to make you come back to Tokyo near future. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
