About Tour Guide Akira N.

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

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

Thank you so much for the great review. Since we started exchanging messages online, I had a feeling that you found the right guy, and I am so glad that my intuition was correct. It is always my pleasure to be a guide for those who wish to see Tokyo through the eyes of locals. I have always believed that the city is not a great spot for everyone, and it is not as wonderful as many guidebooks, influencers, and so-called travel advisors say. There are many so-called "unwritten rules" (which I honestly don't know if they can be categorized as “rules”)that you'd be better off following, just like many locals do. For those who think they are entitled to behave the same way everywhere they go, Japan could be one of the worst places for them to enjoy their holidays. However, if they understand that following these rules is a necessary process to truly know what Tokyo (and its people and culture) is, I believe they will love this city, just as you and your wonderful two sons did. The places we visited are all my favorites (some of them I have loved since I was a teenager), and I am so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you for spending two days with me. I thoroughly enjoyed guiding you and exchanging stories. I look forward to another opportunity to explore my beloved city together. Sincerely, Akira
