Reviews
“Amazing Omakase Dinner and Sake Pairing”
We had a wonderful evening with our gracious host, Toki. As a sake sommelier her attention to detail and knowledge is impeccable. In addition to educating us about sake, including the history, process of making, type of sakes, various glassware, etc; she collaborated with the chef for each dish and the pairing of the sake. It was amazing! For an unforgettable evening, it is definitely a must do in Tokyo. Thank you Toki, we enjoyed meeting you. Would love to see you should you make a trip to California.

Carla san, Thank you so much for your kind word. I appreciate your respect for Japanese culture. I'm so happy to have been a part of your trip. It was a real pleasure to introduce sake to all of you foodies and share a wonderful evening together. See you in San Francisco!
“Amazing Time in Tokyo with Toki!”
If you are like me, you are probably skeptical of any reviews you read. But in all honesty I can tell you that Toki is truly special. It was obvious from the very beginning that she wanted this tour to be about me, and not what was convenient for her. She put more effort into customizing this tour to my preferences than I ever would have expected. Toki is classy, polite, and incredibly thoughtful. Until today, I was wondering if I made a bad decision coming to Tokyo. Well, Toki changed that entirely! I am so happy and grateful that Toki showed me around today! I have no doubt that if you choose Toki as your guide, you will feel as I do. Toki is truly the best!

Chris san, Thank you so much for your kind words. It gave me a lot of confidence. I think your heartfelt kindness and honesty in conveying your emotions have been conveyed to many Japanese people, including me. The two days I spent guiding you were a very special time for me as well. I hope to see you again in Japan or Texas!
“Very good! ”

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
