About Tour Guide Haruo T.

“Invaluable guide in Tokyo”

We decided to spend a whole day in Tokyo before embarking on a cruise. We connected with Haruo because he lives in Yokohama, and we had decided to stay in Yokohama within walking distance of the cruise terminal. The HUGE advantage to that is that Haruo met us at the hotel and started the day there, so that he was able to guide us through the extensive train and subway network up to Tokyo. It can be daunting and complicated, and I am not sure how many times we would have been delayed without him. But by the end of the day, we had the confidence to get back on our own. Haruo's English is excellent, and we never had an issue understanding him. He is personable and kind. Best part is that his communication was excellent before the tour, and he incorporated our desired stops into a custom itinerary that would work. And best yet, he was flexible on the day of the tour when weary legs and feet decided to forgo a stop or two to more thoroughly enjoy our day. We had decided to end the tour in Asakusa and go back on our own to meander a bit more on our own and have the ladies do some shopping. And was able to point out a particular type of restaurant that we requested. All in all, getting Haruo was a great decision, and we feel that we have gained a friend in Japan as well.

Dear Bernard. I can’t say thank you enough for your kind words. I also felt like traveling with my friends at the end of the tour. I would be happy if I could be able to give you some advice to help you enjoy your long trip here in Japan. I’m sure you can, since you understand what you need to know and ask me appropriate questions. Even though it’s warmer than usual and needed a lot of walking, you were so cooperative and generous to keep up with my pace. I’m afraid it might have made you exhausted. The conversation with you at the cafe at Shinjuku Gyoen Garden was so enjoyable that I might have forgotten I was your guide. Whenever I see the wonderful picture taken with you in front of the gate of Asakusa Sensoji Temple, I’ll remember and think of you and the tour on one beautiful early summer day in Tokyo. Best wishes Your friend, Haruo

I can’t say thank you enough for your kind words. I hope your Pokémon souvenir has a great impact on your children. Please don’t worry too much about the result of Omikuji fortune telling drawing. That is a kind of advice for you. I also enjoyed the tour, especially cherry blossom viewing with you. Good luck and take care of yourselves. Danke.

“Great Day With Haruo ”

We had a wonderful day with Haruo in Tokyo! He was incredibly patient and flexible, especially when we had to change our original plans due to the rain. He was very open and eager to learn more about our culture, and at the same time, we could ask him anything about Japanese traditions, culture, and daily life. It was a truly enriching experience — thank you, Haruo! He’s not only the best tour guide, but also the ultimate videographer when it comes to making you look like a celebrity while crossing Shibuya Crossing!

I appreciate your kind and heartwarming words. I had a great time with the tourists who were so interested in our culture and history. Especially the questions you asked me were so interesting that they induced more deep and profound explanations. Also thank you your patience and cooperation for bad weather and crowdedness. At the end of the tour I felt like strolling around Tokyo with my friends. Take care and keep in touch.
