Dear Lyn, Thank you so much for the great review. Wander about my city enjoyed talking about our daily life, music (DuranDuran...!), and Ultraman with you and Don (both have kind, sincere, and warm personality but show them in very different way....) was so much fun. Thank you so much for giving me another reason why I cannot quit this job, tour guide. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira.

“An Absolute Must Do Experience In Tokyo”
This is our first time visiting Japan and while we wanted to take in all the touristy sites we also really appreciate experiences that reflect the local way of life. Akira was thoughtful and intent on sharing a version of Tokyo beyond the tourist destinations and we could not have had a better experience! Our 8yr old was along for the tour as well and Akira was kind enough to include a stop at a Pokémon store! He further assisted us with navigating of the subway and transit lines, showed us several hidden gems that we would have orherwise have missed and really made an effort to make the day special while appreciating a lower pace with our son! This will be a highlight of our cherished memories from Japan and would endlessly recommend booking a tour with Akira!

Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for the great review. And thank you so much for the wonderful day. It is always my pleasure to be a guide for wonderful people like you and your family with loving and care, and respect to locals and their culture. I am so glad to see all of you fascinated by every little things in the river, streets, in the tea house, on the floor, on the ground (!), in the restaurant, people and.......etc, etc. I enjoyed each of the moment such as when we enjoyed exchanging with the gardeners in the garden and grandma in the shop. I hope the local experience you enjoyed today will make a good contrast to what you will experience for the rest of your Japan trip. Also I hope that you could get an idea of what it is like to be a local in this city. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
