Makiko was one of our best guides in Japan. Her English is excellent and she is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.
We had two half days with Makiko. She was very professional, friendly and helpful. None of our requests were too much. Great thanks
I had an incredible day seeing the highlights of Tokyo with a personalized tour crafted by Makiko. The best part of the tour was a fantastic sushi meal prepared by the chef and owner. The restaurant only has 8 seats and personalized attention was given and Makiko explained each thing that was served. As the tour progressed Makiko took time to explain the history and significance of each thing we saw. I highly recommend you book a tour with Makiko
Makiko showed us around Nikko area. A very historic and beautiful place. Makiko is a very friendly and knowledgable guide. She knows a lot about Japanese history and culture. And she took us to a lovely restaurant. We do recommend her
