“Lovely introduction to Tokyo”
On our half detour, Kahoko (a very lovely lady) met us in our hotel lobby and took us to the subway station entrance just outside the hotel. There she showed us how to pay for and get on the subway. Very important for traveling in Tokyo! First, she took us to the Imperial Palace east garden for a quick stroll. (we made it quick because it was so hot the day we went.) then we trolled over to the Imperial Gardens Nijubashi bridge . It was majestic. Since it was hot, she held a taxi for us to ride the short distance to the Nakamise shopping street which leads to the Senso-Ji shrine. There she showed us how to cleanse our hands before we walked up to the temple . Then she took us to the Asakusa shrine right beside the temple and explained the difference between temples and shrines. Kahoko also showed us the ginkgo tree behind the shrine- I had actually never seen one! It was a lovely introduction to Tokyo.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! I was wondering how your cruise trip was like. Probably it was relaxing and pleasant , wasn't it ? Even though our tours were end of June, it was really hot ! Under that harsh condition, you were cheerful and cooperative to me. Thanks to your tolerance, I had such a lovely time with you. During two days , I was able to learn something new from you. You are planning next trip because you are frequent travelers, probably? I hope you will come back to Japan some day soon. There are more places to visit in Japan. Since then, please take care, and good luck !

“Tour with Kahoko!”
Our family of 5 (2 parents and 3 adult children ages 28, 24 and 18) had a half day tour with Kahoko and it was great! Our flight arrived at 3am (so brutal) and our tour started at 9am. Kahoko did an awesome job of showing us around Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya. She paid special attention to pointing out things my kids would love (shopping and thrifting!). We were exhausted at about the 3 hour mark so decided to stop for lunch and Kahoko helped us with finding a yummy udon noodle place and even helped with ordering. It was nice to sit and relax during the meal with her….like eating a meal with a friend :) We walked about 15,000 steps with her and she was friendly and high energy the whole time (even when we were fading!). I highly recommend Kahoko for your family tour!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! I had such a lovely time with a terrific family. From the first sight, honestly , I was afraid that it would be hard to do a tour after the long flight and under raining. Still , once we met , you all gave me a warm smiles and got full-psyched up for the tour. As you were spontaneous and ready to enjoy the tour, it went amazingly smoothly. I really appreciate your cooperation. So I am sure you will be able to enjoy every moment in Japan. I just hope your rest of the trip will be full of excitement and laughters. Thank you again, and take care!

“Wonderful guide!”
We had the best day with Kahoko! It was our first day in Japan and meeting with Kohoko was like meeting an old friend. She showed us how to navigate the transportation system which I was very anxious about. She recommended splitting up our tour into two half days instead of one whole day which was such a great idea! And after seeing how large Tokyo is, it was definitely the right way to go. We got to spend time sightseeing with her and then use the rest of the afternoon to continue sightseeing or go back and rest. Thanks to her, getting around was much easier. She took us to an amazing restaurant. She was funny and very personable! She was excellent with my preteen daughter. Overall a wonderful experience! Communication with her prior to our trip and leading up to our trip was excellent. I highly recommend Kohoko! I’m so glad we got the chance to meet her.

Thank you very much for the kind review ! I had such a lovely time with a pretty charming mom and a promising-beauty daughter. It was like a girl's night out and the youngest seemed like the most matured one! As she clearly knows what she likes and what she needs and you, on the other hand, respect her ideas support all the time , our tours went so smoothly and happily from my sides. We talked a lot and laughed a lot. I was glad to know your rest of the time in Japan seemed joyful from a picture you sent me after the tour. Finishing the tours, I felt like going on a trip with my daughter. Please come back to Tokyo some day soon. I just hope your happy marriage with your fiance and your daughter's bright future. Good luck!
