(99 reviews)Dear Chris, Thank you very much for taking the time to write and giving me an excellent review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed my tour. I hope you come back to Japan again with your beloved! Michiko
“Full day tour in Yokohama and Full day tour in Tokyo”
Michiko is very professional, diligent, on-time in appointments, very mindful of itineraries set, and she mindfully catered for our preferences and requirements. She is able and very willing to help. She is most valuable with the type of work she does as a private tour guide in that she is fluent in English, knowledgeable of Japan’s historical events, and very focused in her work. We would not have been able to visit the touristy and interesting places within the two days we were in Yokohama and Tokyo if Michiko was not with us. We highly recommend her. Domo arigato gozaimasu, Michiko! Cheers! Celle and Jun

“Fabulous Day!”
Michiko extremely knowledgeable and flexible. This is our first trip to Tokyo and we had many questions about basic things like getting around on the subway and what neighbourhoods to go to for unique shopping experiences. She answered all our questions and made us feel confident exploring the city. I would highly recommend Michiko as a guide.
