Private tour guide was great!
Gina B, 02-01-2023
Sachimi was an excellent private guide!
She helped my family & I navigate the Tokyo subway and plan out our Japan railway tickets. She took us around to all of our areas of interests and presented interesting facts about each place. She was very friendly & easy to talk to. So happy we did this on our very first day in Tokyo. What a fun day we will always remember.
Customized trip was well worth it!
Compass64080081063, 30-12-2022
We were able to customize our tour to see the things we still wanted to see on our last full day in Tokyo. The email coordination the day and night before was perfect. And everything ran on time and we got it all in with an expert local that helped map and plan out the day!
Tak-san is the G.O.A.T.!!!!
Mia_B, 27-12-2022
We called our guide Tak-san but we should have called him Tak-sama! He’s the real deal. We had a wonderful day exploring everything from Tsukiji’s outer market to eating crepes on Takeshita dori. Even with my parents and siblings stopping into every shop imaginable (so many that we didn’t even have time to make it to Meiji Jingu lol) Tak-san was patient and even adjusted the tour on the fly to find experiences he thought would be memorable. We enjoyed not only learning about this history and culture of Tokyo, but about our fascinating and wonderful guide. It was the ultimate and definitive highlight of our time in Tokyo, and probably the best tour I’ve taken anywhere as a traveller that has been to 15+ countries.

I cannot recommend this experience enough. If you book one thing going to Tokyo, it should be this. It was well worth the money to do the full 7 hour tour. I will gladly point my family and friends to Tak when they ask what they should do when they’re in town.
Best way to kickstart Tokyo

Yuriko sets the bar high for all tours. We usually like to figure things out for ourselves but this walking tour was essential to get us off on the right foot for our 10 day trip. She was so warm and eager to communicate about our tour before and during our walk. We customize the morning together and she offered great suggestions once she got to know our family. She eagerly and professionally provided so many interesting facts about the temples, shrines, and shopping areas we visited. We had another guide in Tokyo and he had looong periods of silence where we had to ask about major landmarks as we drove by them. She talked all about volleyball with my teenage daughter on the subway ride and we all felt like family by the end of the trip. We have used a lot of her knowledge as we visit other sites in Japan. We are so grateful for our time with her!
Nino-san was responsive...
