About Tour Guide Ritsuko K.

“Wonderful day trip”

I booked an 11 hour day trip to Hakone from Tokyo with Ritsuko. I was traveling alone to Japan for the first time and was nervous to navigate alone. Ritsuko was very communicative, informative, and helpful. She listened to what experience I wanted and offered suggestions. She was fun to travel with and was even willing to make a drop off location change last minute even though it out her over the time. She was polite, kind and easy going. Thanks for making my day 1 memorable!

Hi Carol, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to me that you enjoyed our day trip to Hakone. I had such a great time traveling with you as well. I appreciated your curiosity—not just about the sights we visited, but also about the customs of Japan, the school system, and even kanji! It made our conversations so enjoyable. As there are still many places in Tokyo I’d like to show you, please come back someday with your husband! I wish you all the best.

“Great introduction to Tokyo!”

Ritsuko was lovely, her communication prior to our arrival was informative and quick, she met us at our Hotel in Asakusa and we went for a walk around the river and local area, we went to some shrines that were less crowded than Senso-ji and also went to a great cafe for a coffee and a very traditional local restaurant for lunch, we would never had found those without Ritsuko! She also showed us how to use the subway system which can be confusing at first but now we’re off on our own, thank you Ritsuko!!

Hi Mike and Jenny, Thank you so much for your positive review and for sharing the nice photos! I’m glad you enjoyed exploring my favorite off-the-beaten-path spots. It was MY pleasure to show you a different side of Tokyo, away from the crowds, and I’m also delighted you felt at ease with the subway system after our tour. I wish you many more wonderful experiences on your journey in Japan with delicious foods and beautiful photos. Take care and all the best!

“ON THE MOVE IN TOKYO WITH RITSUKO ”

Ritsuko K. met us in the lobby of our hotel in Shinjuku Tokyo at 9;00 am. Our hotel was located near a subway station so we were almost immediately on our way to an exciting day. Specifically, Ritsuko prepared an itinerary for first timers in Tokyo that included Imperial Palace and East Garden, Sensoji Temple, Harajuku, Meiji Shrine, Shibuya Crossing and Shibuya. We had time to relax a bit and enjoyed a Starbucks coffee and Danish pastry with Ritsuko. We were amazed how the subway system is designed and how efficient the entire transportation system works. The Suica pass in Japan is like a national debit card which can be used in subways, convenient stores and much more. This makes traveling and purchasing drinks and snacks easy and efficient. We did actually walk the Shibuya Crossing and viewed it from above in the subway station. You must do this when visiting Tokyo and we did! We have great respect for our tour guide and would recommend her for anyone looking for proper and meaningful visit to Tokyo! Do not hesitate to book this tour.... Sincerely, Robert and Ellen K
