Dear Pedro, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I hope this Japan trip will be a memorable one for both of you in many ways. See you next time!!! Akira

“Great guide four our first trip to Japan!!”

Akira was a very good decision as a guide for our family's first full day, first trip to Japan! He was a life saver showing us how to use the transportation system and understanding Tokyo's complex environment. The trip was fully customizable and he showed us areas of traditional Japanese living to modern day Japan. He has great knowledge of Japan and its history, he also worked with our slow pace for the entire day. He took us to a very delicious non-tourist Japanese restaurant and the entire family enjoyed it, even with our picky eaters. Again, Akira provided a professional, friendly and fun trip that kick started the rest of our trip to Japan. I highly recommend his guidance for anyone traveling to Japan, for the first time or any time. Thank you Akira and Ryan says "King Cesar"!!! lol

Dear Marcello, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was so much fun to be a guide for the Gonzalez family’s first Japan trip in a jolly, relaxed, happy family atmosphere. I’m so glad we have something in common, we believe spirits, we love coffee, and we love variety of Tokusatsu (Thank you for reminded me of King Caesar. I haven heard that name for menu years…!). Thank you so much for treated me like the way do to your friendly neighbor, not like just a guide you hired. I had a wonderful time as much as you did. I am looking for another chance to explore the TokyoI love together. Sincerely, Akira

“A fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Akira”

Akira picked my wife and me up at our hotel, and from the very first stop at Meiji Shrine it was clear how deeply passionate he is about Japan, its people, and its culture. He shared what the shrine means to him personally and to Japanese culture as a whole, and we walked the beautiful grounds while he offered insights into Japanese history and traditions. One thing we really appreciated was how he encouraged us to take part in the culture respectfully, letting us know when it was appropriate to take photos and how to behave in shrines and temples. After a quick stop at a local café, we headed to Zoshigaya for delicious, authentic onigiri at one of Akira’s favourite spots. Having spent time as a rice farmer, Akira brought a unique perspective on Japanese food, from the quality of the rice to the finer details of the cuisine, which made every bite more interesting. We had asked for a lighter lunch since we had an early dinner planned, and he adjusted the plan right away without any fuss. We explored this quieter, more local neighbourhood before visiting Kishimojin Temple, where Akira treated us to sweets from an old shop nearby. From there we explored Harajuku and Omotesando, then finished the day at the Shibuya crossing. Throughout the tour Akira took candid photos of us and sent them at the end, which was a wonderful bonus. A long day of walking, but worth every step. Highly recommend touring Tokyo with Akira!

Dear Jorge, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I am so happy to know that the tour was enjoyable, and helpful enough for you to understand the country, its people, and their customs. Upon meeting you and having a few conversations, I could sense that not only you but also beautiful Melinda did not come to Japan for just having fun, but for something deeper.I was wondering what I could show you in Tokyo, which was your very last stop to conclude your honeymoon, after the wonderful time you had in Tohoku region. I tried to be as honest as possible and to show you what I am and what I love, hoping that you could see this city through me. I hope that it worked. It was my pleasure to be a part of your very first Japan trip as a young, warm, kind, humble couple with beautiful spirits like yours. I'm looking forward to another chance to explore this city I love together. Sincerely, Akira
