Had a wonderful time with Tamami exploring the Asakusa area and learning about Japanese traditions and culture, and of course food and shopping! Tamami was very enthusiastic and cheerful, and always willing to adapt to whatever caught our interest. A very good intro to Japan!

Senso-ji, located in the heart of Tokyo's Asakusa district, is not just a temple, it's a cultural icon. As Tokyo's most famous and oldest temple, it holds a rich history dating back over 1,300 years. As you explore the temple grounds, you'll be captivated by the stunning architecture and the vibrant atmosphere. The Nakamise-dori, a bustling street leading to the temple, is lined with traditional shops and stalls offering a variety of souvenirs and local snacks. But our journey goes beyond the typical tourist path. We'll also stroll through Kappa-bashi-dori, a local favorite known for its unique shops and eateries.

I loved my time with Yoshi today touring on foot some of the temples, shrines and the waterfront plus sitting down for green tea. Looking forward to my next time in Tokyo and will for sure book with Yoshi again! Thank you for a memorable time!!! ❤️
Did a private tour and things were tailored to my interests. Everything was well organized beforehand and my guide Yukari was amazing. She knew all the relevant historical facts and it was very interesting, informative and above all fun!! Well worth the extra dollars for a customized tour.
Great tour as was customized to my interests. Yukari was an excellent tour guide. Knew the relevant historical facts but also knew the folklore and made it a very interesting, informative and fun experience all in one. Well worth the extra dollars for the private tour!!
TOSHI was our guide for 2 days. Her English was perfect. We love history and appreciated her depth of knowledge and patience answering all our questions. We would book with her again. We felt secure on all the trains and mass transit with her. Our lunch and dinner stops were delicious…. tempura/wagyu steak YUM!!
The tour was very interesting. So many places and enjoyed the talks that our guide provided. Our guide was helpful, informative and interesting.
Nana felt like a friend from the moment we met. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her kindness made our day in Tokyo truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Nana was the best guide ever! I want to bring her home!! And be my daughter!!! She take care of us 100% and teach us everything! I do recommend her and her company!!
This was our first full day in Tokyo and we couldn't have had a better day. Our guide, Daniel was superb. Daniel communicated with us before the day to ask questions on what we wanted to see, ensured we knew where to meet, spoke perfect English, was full of information, was a delight to be with, and helped us shop at at the Pokemon store..a slight side diversion after we saw so many cultural aspects of Tokyo. He took us to a great lunch spot and ate like locals. If I were going on a tour again I'd do my best to request Daniel. He even answered questions the next day reminding us of things we wanted to do. Just a great first day in Tokyo
Daniel was an excellent guide with a great balance of information on history, religion, and local customs. He also tailored our walk and meal to our personal preferences. I intend to book with him again when I return to Tokyo!!
10/7/26 Our Tour Guide Daniel was Exceptional! His English was perfect (he had grown up in the United States before moving to Toyko). He was full of information about Toyko and he allowed us many opportunities to take pictures and ask questions. He also took us shopping for Pokémon Stuff (and waited in line with us) and helped me buy scotch tape at the 6th Floor of the Don Quixote Store. The lunch place he took us to was fabulous. We enjoyed hearing stories about his family and living in Toyko and the United States. We highly recommend asking for Daniel as your Tour Guide if you book this tour in Toyko. Cheers!
What a day with Yoshiko in Tokyo! She showed us around some of the coolest areas in Tokyo for shopping coffees and food. Additionally we went to see a shrine and got to experience the history of Tokyo with a lot of facts around the culture. Time went by almost too quickly and even after our tour Yoshiko sent us a list of her favorite places to still visit which we appreciated highly. She was beyond friendly and kind as well as fluent in english. Would recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo and wanting to see more insider spots and not just touristic attractions.
Awesome experience with our guide Yukari!! 🥳🥳🥳 She provided detailed information on the history and was able to answer all of our questions. The tour was well paced, not too slow and not too fast, just perfect! My friend and I fully enjoyed and recommend her fully! Book with Yukari! You won’t regret it! ENJOY 😊
