Tokyo walking tour with Akira

We had an amazing day with Akira! He’s kind, attentive and a great guide. Even before we arrived, he gave great suggestions on certain areas of the city to book a hotel, we chose Akasaka since its close to many different train lines. As for the tour, it was a comfortable pace all day, not rushed but also not stagnant. We saw a lot of beautiful Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples and he explained everything so well and we felt comfortable participating with his help. We went to his favorite locals restaurant and had amazing lunch, and stopped for coffee at his favorite local coffee shop. I would highly recommend doing Akira’s walking tour. We had the best time! Thanks for the chatting and laughing with us along the way! Tom and Chelsea from Denver

Dear Tom, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour just like I did. It was so much fun to listen to your story, about your home town, job, your life etc. I haven’t been to your country for many years since yen’s value has become far higher than before, but if I had a chance, I really want to visit Colorado (being kind, generous, and respectful to local people like you and Chelsea….) to enjoy beautiful nature that you told me. Thank you so much again for having me this time, and thank you so much for giving me another reason why I keep doing this job. See you next time! Akira

Personalized Tokyo Journey

I usually don't write reviews but felt i had to express my appreciation for the day we spent with Akira. Akira is the most informative,kind, patient and pleasant individual you could wish to meet. He has a great knowledge of Tokyo and took us to his favourite restaurants for lunch and coffee. He showed us the places that tourists would not usually see and tailored the tour to our requirements. He even stayed with us longer than was necessary so that we could meet our next appointment at the correct place and time. I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else if you are looking for a Tokyo guide. Akira will exceed your expectations in every respect and it was a privilege to spend the day with him.

Hello David, Thank you so much for the great review. I knew you had some unpleasant experience before we met on that day. I was hoping that the tour would be something like a silver lining in dark sky, and I am so pleased to know that you really enjoyed the tour. I enjoyed answering your questions, telling you what it is like to be a local in this city. Also, I enjoyed listening to some stories of your life (including the wonderful guitar lesson that you had given by the maestro finger picker...!). I just want you to know that I enjoyed the day just like you did, and it was my pleasure knowing you. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time! Akira
