“Fabulous Day in Toyko”

Our day with Ritsuko was perfect for us. She tailored the day to what we wanted to see and do. She gave us history and context to the sights we were seeing on a very personalized level. Remember touring this way means taking local transportation and a lot of walking. This was just the way we like to see a city. She helped us with everything from buying train and subway tickets, picking a local restaurant when it was lunch time and helping us navigate the shopping district and department store purchases. We were a party of four and everyone agreed we were 100% satisfied with our day in TOYKO. We highly recommend her.

Hi Sally, Bob, Peter, and Melanie, Thank you so much for your kind words! I had a fantastic time guiding your group during your cruise stopover. Thanks to your great walking pace, we covered a wonderful mix of Tokyo, from the historic sites you requested to the vibrant pedestrian paradise in Ginza. It was a pleasure showing you the "local way" of navigating the city using the subway and Yurikamome, and I’m glad you enjoyed the ramen lunch and shopping experience as well. Knowing that everyone in your party was satisfied makes me very happy. It was a privilege to be a part of your precious single day in Tokyo. I hope the rest of your cruise is filled with amazing discoveries and beautiful memories. Take care and stay healthy!

“Fantastic!! We loved every minute”

From meeting us at the hotel Ritsuko was super friendly and welcoming. We headed straight into the tour and using the subway which was brilliant to get us used to how it worked on our first day in Tokyo. The tour had been edited as we wanted to see traditional Japan but also to see the Shibuya crossing. Ritsuko amended this for us and ensured the we were able to fit everything in as well as plenty of time for unplanned stops too! We cannot recommend highly enough Ritsuko was so easy to chat to and so knowledgeable too. It was such an informative tour with lovely conversation and finding out things that we would never have known if we had navigated the city ourselves, not just the history but lots about Japanese culture too. We had a fabulous day thank you!!

Hi Sally and Lee, Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! It was a great pleasure meeting you and spending the day together. I'm only sorry that we had just one day together during your business trip. There is still so much more I would love to show you—from the bustling Kitchen Street to the more traditional "lesser-known" neighborhoods that offer a different glimpse into local life. Please do come back in a different season! I would be delighted to guide you through more of Tokyo's hidden gems and rich culture. Until then, all the best!

“An Unforgettable Tokyo Experience – Ritsuko is Exceptional!”

Ritsuko is a phenomenal guide! She was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly accommodating throughout our time in Tokyo. She opened doors to places we would haven't been able to visit on our own and handled all our logistics seamlessly including reservations and special dietary requirements. Our trip was truly memorable, and it was all possible because of Ritsuko. 5 stars all the way!

Hi Sujeet, Thank you for your outstanding review! It was MY pleasure to guide your lovely family. I am so happy that you all liked the small museum I personally love—it was wonderful to share that hidden gem with you. I also have such fond memories of seeing Reya so excited at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant and the Capybara cafe, and I truly enjoyed shopping with Amrita. I hope to see your family in Japan again someday. Until then, all the best!
